Less than three months remain until New York City’s January 1, 2027, elevator compliance deadline. Is your building ready?
Under ASME A17.3-2002, existing traction elevators must meet updated brake requirements by the deadline, including installing a rope gripper or modifying single-plunger brake assemblies to dual-plunger types. Rope grippers provide an additional layer of protection by helping prevent unintended elevator movement in the event of brake failure.
If your building hasn’t been evaluated, now is the time to act. Assessments, planning and equipment upgrades can take time, so waiting until the deadline approaches could leave your building scrambling to meet requirements.
Metro Elevator’s New York team can assess your equipment and help determine the right path to compliance. Don’t put off planning for this approaching deadline.
