Maintenance visits, call-outs, Issues, Quotes and Invoices, and every elevator’s next inspection under Syracuse’s elevator code, all in one AI system.
Every elevator, escalator and dumbwaiter is inspected and kept up to the city’s elevator safety code and the NYS Uniform Code.
Fix a violation by the date on its notice, then report the correction to the city in writing within two weeks.
Installing or altering an elevator needs a city permit, applied for online. A consulting engineer reviews the plans for the city.
Syracuse licenses elevator mechanics on top of the state license, and publishes its list of licensed elevator contractors.
An uncorrected violation costs the owner $100 a day, or $500 a day if the city rates it serious. Source: Syracuse Property Conservation Code, Chapter 27.
Set up a Maintenance Contract once and LiftAuth creates the visits. Each Job is signed off on site, and the contract decides whether an Invoice is drafted.
An Issue is one fault on one elevator. Technicians log it on site with photos and video, and it stays open until it is fixed. Your office and the Building Manager both see it.
For a breakdown, your dispatcher rings Technicians’ phones, and the first to accept takes the call-out.
Your office gives each Issue a fault code and a cause: Equipment, Misuse or Building / third-party. Fault Analytics shows the most common fault codes, and faults per elevator-year by building, manufacturer, model and age.
You can download a period’s report as a PDF to share with the Building Manager, with a written analysis drafted by AI.
Send a Quote for the Building Manager to accept. Parts come from your stock, with Inventory on Pro. Larger repairs run as a project, with a Purchase order stage. A draft Invoice can follow when the Job closes.
Every elevator’s next inspection is listed by due date, soonest first. Send the inspector one booking link. They pick an hour from your Team’s calendar, you confirm it, and the Building Manager agrees to it.
Your Technicians, your Building Managers and your office each have their own app.
Technicians see today’s Jobs, fill in each form and get it signed. The app works offline in the machine room and syncs when the signal returns.
Property managers and owners see the visits to their elevators, accept Quotes, see Invoices and sign off finished work, on their phone or on a computer. See what they see.
Scheduling, dispatch and invoicing for the whole portfolio, and every elevator’s next inspection date. Pro adds inventory.
Field service software and ERPs cover parts of an elevator contractor’s work. The elevator-specific parts, like inspection due dates and fault codes, usually end up in spreadsheets.
