Common Violation Categories
Each inspection depends on the equipment, jurisdiction, and applicable code requirements, but several categories are common.

- Machine room access problems

Why Violations Matter
Open violations may prevent a satisfactory inspection result. If violations are not corrected and documented, certificate renewal may be delayed.
What to Do After a Violation
After receiving a violation or deficiency, the property manager should review, assign, track, and document the correction process.
- Review the inspection report
- Send the report to the elevator service company
- Confirm who is responsible for each correction
- Request a repair timeline
- Track completion
- Gather proof of correction
- Schedule callback or reinspection if needed
