Where this data comes from

Every listing starts from public records — NY State Department of Labor: Elevator Contractor License (data.ny.gov jrac-r9vc), TDLR All Licenses file (data.texas.gov 7358-krk7), NYC Department of Buildings: elevator safety — not from who paid to be listed. A License active badge means we matched the business to an active public record, dated. Read the methodology →

Common questions

Which elevator work needs a license in New York State?

Since January 1, 2022, the State Department of Labor licenses elevator contractors, inspection contractors and mechanics. Some work, such as replacing interior finishes or lighting, is exempt. See state licensing.

What are CAT1 and CAT5 in New York City?

DOB describes CAT1 as an annual no-load safety test and CAT5 as a five-year load and speed test. See our NYC guide.

How often must Texas elevators be inspected?

TDLR says the owner must obtain an inspection every 12 months and apply for a Certificate of Compliance. See Texas rules.

Can I hire the same company to maintain and inspect?

Rules differ by jurisdiction. In Texas inspectors are separately registered; in New York City DOB-approved agencies file inspection reports. Ask the contractor and check with the regulator.

Why is a company not listed?

We list active NY DOL elevator contractor licenses and active TDLR Elevator Contractor registrations only. Other states, expired licenses and NYC DOB agencies are not shown.

Do you publish violations or ratings?

No. We show the license record only. For a building's elevator violations in NYC, use DOB NOW: Safety.
