Re-Inspections and Violation Call-Backs

Call-back inspections that document corrections and clear violations within the 90-day window.

Short answer: When an inspection cites violations, Florida generally gives the owner 90 days to correct them. A call-back inspection then verifies and documents the corrections so the certificate can be issued. IEI tracks the 90-day clock, coordinates with your elevator company and files the call-back with your authority having jurisdiction.

Our approach to call-backs

Our business model is not built on call-backs. The pre-inspection survey is meant to catch issues before inspection day. When violations are cited, we give you a plain-English list, the deadline and the documents the AHJ will expect.

When 90 days is not enough

Some corrections, such as door lock monitoring or fire service upgrades, take longer than 90 days. Most jurisdictions offer a variance or plan of corrective action. Broward County, for example, accepts a Temporary Petition for Variance with a corrective action plan and signed reports.

Frequently asked questions

How long do I have to fix elevator violations in Florida?

Generally 90 days from the inspection that cited them (section 399.105, Florida Statutes). A call-back inspection by a certified inspector documents the corrections. If more time is needed, ask your AHJ about a variance before the deadline.
