Do elevators in New Hampshire, Maine and Vermont need to meet the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements?
A. Elevator code is different from ADA code, and just because a piece of equipment meets elevator code does not mean it meets the ADA requirement for a specific installation. Whether an application meets the ADA requirements is up to the “Authority Having Jurisdiction” (AHJ). This can be your state, city or local code enforcement agency. The building owner needs to check with the local officials to be sure the product meets the local requirements. We can help with this, but it is the building owners responsibility to make sure the AHJ has approved it.
