OAR 918-400-0650: Use of Provisional Permits Following Periodic Safety Inspections

(1) A provisional permit may be granted to correct Oregon Elevator Specialty Code deficiencies discovered at a periodic elevator inspection, subject to the following: (a) The initial provisional permit is issued for a period not to exceed 120 days from the date of the periodic inspection. (b) A reinspection may be performed 120 days or more from the date of the periodic inspection when determined necessary by the division. If violations found at the periodic inspection still exist, the elevator may be removed from service pursuant to ORS 460.125(3). (2) Where mitigating circumstances did not allow compliance within the initial 120-day period, an additional 60-day period may be granted providing all work can be completed within a 60-day period from the date of the first reinspection. If violations still exist, the elevator shall be ordered to be disconnected from service pursuant to ORS 460.125(3) and the matter shall be referred for additional enforcement action as relevant. (3) Written requests for an extension may be granted in extenuating circumstances beyond the owner's or contractor's control, as determined by the division.
