The New York City Department of Buildings mandates that Real Estate Managers responsible for ensuring safe and reliable vertical transportation must hire a licensed, insured, and competent elevator contractor. Failure to meet this requirement can lead to substantial fines and, in some cases, legal consequences.
Experienced Real Estate Managers understand the risks of hiring an unqualified elevator company. Poor service can result in prolonged elevator shutdowns, costly penalties, and disruptions to tenant satisfaction and rent collection.
