Steps
Confirm the device type: door lock monitoring (electronic device preventing car movement unless doors are fully locked) had a Jan 1, 2020 installation deadline affecting roughly 44,000 NYC elevators — this deadline has already passed, so check current compliance/violation status rather than treating it as upcoming.
Separately track the newer secondary emergency brake requirement (protection against Unintended Car Movement/Ascending Car Overspeed via dual-plunger brake assembly or emergency braking system), with a 2027 compliance deadline.
Do not conflate the two retrofit programs — they have different technical scope, different deadlines, and were adopted in separate rule actions.
Verify the exact current Rules of the City of New York (RCNY)/NYC Building Code citation for each requirement directly on nyc.gov, since this session could not confirm a specific local law number for the door lock rule.
For a specific building, check the device's DOB NOW compliance record for retrofit status rather than assuming based on age/type alone.
Known gotchas
Retrofit cost varies enormously by whether door-lock hardware already exists (software/activation only) vs. requires full replacement — do not assume a flat per-unit cost.
The exact underlying local law/rule citation for the door lock monitoring mandate was not independently confirmed this session — verify on nyc.gov before citing a specific law number.
