IIRC, during Covid there were only something like half a dozen elevator inspections for the entire state of CA. The source below says there was 15 in 2019. If your elevator inspection is 2 months late... guess what, your project is going to be late.
I couldn't believe this is true, so I actually read the article. Turns out, it's not true. It's multiple orders of magnitude off.
There were 15 inspectors for the city (not county) of LA when this article was written:
"In order to be up to code, each of the 20,974 elevators in the city of Los Angeles needs to be checked once a year.
But there are only 15 inspectors to do it."
Roughly half of the elevators were past due, which means they were inspecting 10k+ elevators per year just in the city of LA, let alone the entire state.
- karaterobot 4y agoSeems like the off the cuff guess about the numbers is wrong, but the actual point they were making remains valid.
- eagleinparadise 4y agoIIRC the City of LA actually has its own elevator inspectors, but if I'm not mistaken CA has inspectors that cover the rest of the state. An elevator inspector told me this directly to my face, but it was some time ago so I could be a bit off. But you get the general point I was trying to make.
