Restoring Maintenance Standard at Assisted Living Facility in Westhampton

The Problem We discovered

We reached out to the client who wasn't experiencing any issues, but they agreed to have us for a free health and compliance survey, in which we discovered many issues.The cartop, pit, machine room, and door equipment had not been maintained properly by the previous elevator company and had many code violations.

We restored the maintenance standard of the cartop, pit, machine room, and door equipment expeditiously, and performed inspection and testing to rectify the code violations

What Services We Performed and How We Solved the Issue

Island Elevator performed a complete takeover of preventive maintenance, including:

• 1. initial inspection to identify the unknown issues
• 2. Creation of a custom maintenance schedule based on usage and age
• 3. Back maintenance to remove dust and debris from cartop, pit, and machine room
• 4. Replaced extremely worn rollers & made adjustments
• 5. Painted pit and machine room to setup for successful maintenance going forward
• 6. Performed overdue Periodic Inspection & CAT 1 Safety Test
• 7. Sent reports and proposal to rectify the code violations
• 8. Received approval and had equipment fully up to snuff on both maintenance and compliance within 45 days of initial survey

Challenges We Solved

We repaired neglected door operators that caused frequent shutdowns, removed years of dust and debris from the pit and cartop, corrected existing code violations to reduce liability, and restored full maintenance and compliance standards on previously neglected equipment.

Final Results

Restored maintenance standard and compliance
