It is the fire elevator.

Elevators are fall under the oversight of the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulations. For more information on reporting an elevator see the FAQ and Contact Pages below:

The owner of the property in this case the City of St Petersburg has the responsibility to comply with the state elevator requirements. The original poster was saying why is this city parking garage operating an elevator with an expired inspection certificate out of compliance with state law. The action center response is arrogant and self-serving.

Here is the response from one of the links that the Mayors Action Center listed above: How do I report that the certificate of operation (license) is expired in my building's elevator?

How do I report that the certificate of operation (license) is expired in my building's elevator?
Contact the building owner or manager. The certificate frame is often "vandal resistant" and requires special tools to install the updated certificate. A duplicate certificate of operation must be requested for display.

I think the Action Center is self serving and in this case we have an elevator that was involved in a fire and was out of service for at least a year that is not inspected. Just another notch up in city hall for being more concerned about plastic staws than the safety of the public in a city building.

Reopened

We apologize for the location mistake, thank you for bringing it to our attention. This has been forwarded to the attention of the Building Maintenance Department.

As usual the city takes ZERO responsibility and tries to push this off. I guess they did not expect informed citizens to push back. The city is responsible. They own the property, and several floors of the parking garage thanks to the deal with the James Museum. The elevator has been down for 2 years, leaving parking patrons to use the stairwells, which are like a scene from a Saw Movie, they smell, the railings are too disgusting to touch, there is often vomit, urine and even feces on the landings and the City has steadfastly declined to do anything about it despite numerous complaints via email and review sites. Now the elevator is put back into service with an expired certificate and they push it off. What if we as a city took care of all the problems before starting any new projects?

So has the elevator been inspected for safety and updated or are we will operating on an expired, year old inspection?

The repair was completed and the elevator was reinspected June 25 and passed. We are waiting on the new certificate, which have been paid in full. We had to wait for the inspection to be completed, before getting the certification. The elevator is in compliance.

I think that with email today and such you should have that certification on hand. On the day that you passed the inspection if they did not give you something in writing then it does not count. Compliance just as it says on certificate includes the posting of a valid certificate in the car. Shame on you making up the rules as you go. This is the same department that numbered the parking level signs upside down. This is the same department that has more metered to cab stand spaces on the 200 block of central and 1st Ave. South after 10 pm than there are cabs operating at that time of night in the entire city. I just don't buy it.

I really have to agree with Jackson here...all my research points to a certificate being issued at inspection. It has been my experience in dealing with Keith Glasgow over the disgusting stairwell at that same elevator nothing gets done correctly with this city. They take our money to park on a monthly basis but we get little in return. They block off the 3rd level in the early mornings so people trying to get to work have to continue up to higher floors. The folks watching the exits leave messes all aver the ground and around their seats, remnants of lunch and snacks...on that note what are those folks even doing? They sit there at the exits all day for what reason? You have to swipe your card or take a ticket and pay to make a final exit...so why have floor monitors at each level?

Let's keep in open until there certificate has arrived and is posted! Seems fair.

current today with the state

More detail

I checked with our management company representative, John Peake and he sent me the following statement;
The repair was completed and the elevator was reinspected June 25 and passed. This was paid on July 6, 2018 approximately 1:25pm.

Reference number 186000317 License # 44378, Cleared, Reference Number 186000318 License # 44377, Cleared. Both of these were paid in full.

Telephone number is 1-850-487-1395 enter the license number and it will state "cleared"

This information, with a different lic number than hanging in the elevator in question also shows delinquent. See the photo and time stamp on the photo.

Also the photos with the correct lic for the elevator shows a time stamp After you claim the issue was cleared and paid. Further the photos show an inspection on 6/28/18 for 44377 and 44378 of 6/20/18, which are not the dates you reference.

44377 has not been updated either Also of note none of this was paid or taken care of until citizens complained. The paid date you quote is today 7/6/18, original post was 6/28/18.
