The recent elevator accident in which an advertising executive was killed by malfunctioning elevator shortly after it had been serviced. Under New York law, elevator repairs can be performed without a license or any specific training. By contrast, Florida, Michigan and a number of other states specifically require that anyone servicing an elevator be licensed and trained. LawServer maintains an index of state elevator safety laws and regulations, available here. A bill is currently pending in New York to mandate licensing for elevator or escalator repairs or maintenance, A8359, also know as Article 32.
