Steps
Confirm NYC has no separate 'decommissioning' form — removal or dismantling of an existing device is processed as an Elevator Alteration application in DOB NOW: Build.
Obtain the alteration permit before disconnecting, removing, or dismantling any equipment.
Safely remove or dismantle the entire device per the approved filing scope.
Schedule and pass a sign-off inspection with DOB to close out the alteration filing.
Confirm the device's compliance record in DOB NOW is formally closed/updated after removal, not just that the physical unit is gone.
Known gotchas
If the device record isn't formally closed in DOB NOW after physical removal, the address can continue generating periodic/CAT filing violations for a device that no longer exists.
Exact current form names/workflow inside DOB NOW: Build should be re-verified on nyc.gov, since NYC DOB has migrated elevator filings across systems over time.
