Hey this is a great thing safety before money. I dont agree with reducing the fine, I definitely support that there must be a fine! These test and many others are not being done this may be the answer. Send this to your State safety Board, State Senator and State House Rep. Tell them to keep these test in place and add fines if they dont exist. Bill ELEVATOR-SAFETY FINE MULLED BY MASSACHUSETTS LAWMAKERS: Massachusetts lawmakers are mulling a law that went into effect on July 1, 2013, after an apartment developer was fined US$17,900 for failing to renew a lapsed safety-inspection permit, The Sun Chronicle reports. Designed to provide incentive to keep elevators safe, the new law states there is a US$100 per day fine for such violations. State officials contend the developer waited nearly a year after the propertys elevator permit had expired on December 31, 2012, before he applied for a new one, and that in May 2013, the unit failed a smoke test and had an out-of-service phone. Although the phone was fixed, other work remained. The property owner said he was unaware of the fine, which could be reduced in light of political pressure. Previously, the fine was a flat US$200.
