Section 5:23-12.10 - Inspections in seasonal facilities

(a) For purposes of this subchapter, a "seasonal facility" is defined as a building that is open, and available for use by members of the public, employees or maintenance personnel or any occupants, for a period of not more than 184 consecutive days and is then closed and not available for such use for at least 181 consecutive days.

(b) Elevator devices in seasonal facilities shall be subject only to the applicable periodic inspections and tests (one, three and five year). Such inspections and tests shall be performed prior to the building being used by employees, maintenance personnel, members of the public or occupants. A certificate of compliance or temporary certificate of compliance shall be granted only for the time period during which the device is allowed to operate in the seasonal facility.

1. The fees for performing such inspections and witnessing tests shall be in accordance with such provisions of N.J.A.C. 5:23-12.6 as may be applicable.

(c) An owner of a building with one or more elevator devices may obtain classification of the building as a "seasonal facility" from the local enforcing agency. A request for such classification shall contain the information in (d) below and shall be signed by the owner.

(d) An application for classification of a building as a seasonal facility shall include the following information:

1. The owner's name and address, the building address, the registration number, the device identification number(s), and the date of the last inspection;

2. That the total number of consecutive calendar days per year when the building is in use by the public, employees, maintenance personnel or occupants does not exceed 184 days and that the building is then closed for such use for at least 181 consecutive calendar days;

3. That the elevator devices in the building are not accessible to members of the public, employees, maintenance personnel or building occupants during the time in which the building is closed; and

4. That the disconnects located in elevator device machine rooms and machinery spaces are, during the time in which the building is closed, in the "off" position and locked; and that the access to the keys is secured.

(e) The seasonal facility classification shall become invalid when the conditions of the classification are no longer met. The owner shall immediately notify the enforcing agency of any change in the conditions upon which the approval of classification as a seasonal facility was based.

1. Classification of a building as a seasonal facility shall not be renewed if the classification became invalid as a result of a violation of any conditions of the approval of the classification.

(f) During the period of time in which any device in seasonal facility is in operation, it shall be subject to all applicable code requirements in the same manner as any other device subject to this subchapter.
