liftdue is a list of buildings to call on, from public elevator inspection records, for independent elevator companies. At least 283 elevators and escalators near Austin are more than 60 days past their inspection date in TDLR's file.

25 miles around ZIP 78701 (Austin, TX). A past date can just be late paperwork, so every row links to the TDLR record. What past due can mean

Your list also has the ones due in the next 60 days.

liftdue isn't part of any government agency, and it isn't service or dispatch software (where it fits next to service software). It says nothing about who maintains an elevator today: TDLR's file and DOB's elevator compliance data have no field for that.

What's in your list

One row per building, each linked to its record. Here's a real one from the Austin sample.

How it works

  1. The records

    TDLR's public elevator file in Texas. DOB NOW elevator data in New York City.

  2. What we list

    In Texas: elevators and escalators more than 60 days past their inspection date, up to a year, and the ones due in the next 60 days. In New York City: active elevators with no current-year test report on file, and open DOB violations.

  3. Your territory

    A 25-mile radius around a Texas ZIP, or one NYC borough. TDLR says its county field isn't kept up to date, so liftdue places buildings by street address instead.

Every number is a count from these records. Some addresses can't be placed on a map yet, so radius counts can run low.

Where the data comes from

Texas

The elevator data file from TDLR (the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation), the free download on TDLR's elevator search. One row per unit, with building number, owner, contact, next inspection date, drive type and install year.

What past due can mean

Texas law requires building owners to have each elevator inspected once a year by a registered inspector and to file the report with TDLR within 30 days.

TDLR's late fee starts on the 61st day after the inspection, and it still takes late reports after that. So liftdue waits until a unit is more than 60 days past its due date before listing it.

Even then it can be paperwork: the inspection may have happened and the report not be processed yet. It says nothing about the elevator itself. Check the linked record before you act on it.

We leave out units more than a year past their date. A record that old may be for equipment that was replaced or removed.

In New York City, a DOB Failure to Correct violation means the form saying the defects were fixed wasn't filed in time. On its own it doesn't mean the defects are still there.

Questions

Do you cover New York City?

Yes, all five boroughs, one borough per territory. Along with active elevators that have no Category 1 report on file yet this year, we list open DOB Failure to File and Failure to Correct violations. NYC rows show the owner from city property records when we can match one.

Can I contact these owners?

The names are public record. TDLR's file has an owner name and a contact name for most buildings, and HPD lists the registered owner and managing agent. We show names and roles, not phone numbers or emails. How you reach out is up to you. If you email, US commercial email law (CAN-SPAM) covers business email too.
