Elevator Program
The Village of Palatine has re-instated the bi-annual elevator inspection program. Previously, the Office of the State Fire Marshall took ownership of the program. Due to a lack of staffing, the State has not been able to effectively administer the program. In order to ensure the safety of our residents and visitors, the Village Council approved the reinstatement of the program locally.
This change will affect conveyance/elevator owners in the following ways:
· Effective January 1, 2010, Thompson Elevator Inspection Service, Inc. will be performing all bi-annual inspections of conveyances in the
Village of Palatine. (They are the same company that previously conducted the inspections for the Village.)
· Bi-Annual inspections are required by ordinance. (This is the same as the previous program.)
· The fee for each bi-annual inspection is $75.00. The fee for each re-inspection is an additional $53.00.
· You will be invoiced in January for the annual fees due and, if necessary, billed quarterly for each reinspection.
· Thompson Elevator Inspection Service, Inc will contact you to schedule the bi-annual inspections.
