Chicago Issues Elevator Update

Commissioner Richard Monocchio, Department of Buildings, has extended the compliance dates for the Annual Inspection Certification (AIC) program for 2010.

Please note that the deadline for the AIC program is now September 30, 2010 for the creation of a web account and assignment of an inspector and December 30, 2010 for the submittal of the inspection results instead of the date of June 30, 2010. The AIC program has been extended to enable all participants to complete the inspection and reporting requirements.

By September 30, 2010 every owner/manager of a building with conveyance devices (elevators, escalators, lifts, etc.) in the Central Business District is required to have minimally created a web account and assign an
inspection company. The website address is:


https://ipiweb.cityofchicago.org/AIC. Any owner/manager that needs the reference number and PIN to create the account can send an email to aic@cityofchicago.orgwith the address of the property and the information
will be provided by return email.

By December 31, 2010 all inspections (including any necessary re-inspections) and the submittal of the inspection results must be completed. The building owner/manager must submit via the website the
results of the inspections and the program fee by that date. If an elevator permit is required for repair work, it must be secured, but the work does not need to be completed before the end of December. If repair work does
not require a permit, then that work must be completed by December 31, 2010.

Properties that have not minimally created a web account and selected an inspector in the website by the end of September will be in violation and referred to Administrative Hearings.

Please feel free distribute this information. Updated information can be found on the city of Chicago website www.cityofchicago.org/buildings/aic.


Questions can be sent to aic@cityofchicago.org.

Thank you,
