N.Y. General Municipal Law Section 124
Inspection of building elevators in Nassau county

1.

All elevators in buildings in Nassau county shall be inspected periodically for the purposes of public safety. Except as otherwise provided in subdivision three hereof, each city, town or village shall inspect, or cause to be inspected, those elevators in buildings under their jurisdiction in conformance with the local building code of such city, town or village, if there be one, and only if the provisions of such code are at least as stringent as the minimum standards set forth in the New York state building code with respect to the installation, operation and maintenance of building elevators. Any city, town or village in Nassau county which does not have a local building code or regulation with respect to the installation, operation and maintenance of building elevators or has a building code or regulation with respect to the installation, operation and maintenance of building elevators which are less stringent than the minimum standards set forth in the New York state building code with respect to the installation, operation and maintenance of building elevators shall within one year next succeeding the effective date of this section, adopt a local law providing for a building code or a regulation relating to the installation, operation and maintenance of building elevators or amend any existing provision of a building code or regulation with respect to the installation, operation and maintenance of building elevators so as to assure that the provisions of such building code or regulation as adopted or amended with respect to the installation, operation and maintenance of building elevators shall be at least as stringent as the minimum standards set forth in the New York state building code with respect to the installation, operation and maintenance of building elevators provided, however, that any village within a town within such county may consent by adoption of a resolution of its governing body, to permit the installation, operation and maintenance of building elevators within such village to be subject to the provisions of a local building code or regulation of such town with respect to the installation, operation and maintenance of building elevators within such town and the adoption of such resolution shall exempt such village from adopting or amending a building code or regulation with respect to the installation, operation and maintenance of building elevators within such village.

2.

It shall be a further duty of such cities, towns or villages in Nassau county to require by local law or ordinance in the same manner as provided for in subdivision one of this section that mirrors be placed in the rear of elevators subject to inspection in subdivision one hereof so as to make the interior thereof visible prior to entering such elevators.

3.

Each town within Nassau county shall, upon the request of a village located within such town, perform or cause to be performed the inspection required by subdivision one hereof, provided however, that no village may make such request unless the village has adopted a resolution of their governing body consenting to subject the installation, operation and maintenance of building elevators within such village to the provisions of the local building code or regulation of the town relating thereto.

4.

Any person who knowingly and wilfully violates any provision of this section or who violates or fails to comply with any order or requirement of an inspector or other officer charged with the duty of inspecting elevators, shall be guilty of a violation punishable by a fine of not more than five hundred dollars or by imprisonment for not more than fifteen days.
