Steps

  1. Reference the DOB Elevator Compliance page (nyc.gov/site/buildings/safety/elevator-compliance.page) for the current CAT1 requirement description
  2. Confirm CAT1 is an annual no-load witness test of safety devices at rated speed, distinct from the five-year CAT5 full-load test
  3. Confirm the test-to-filing window: DOB expects the inspection report filed within a set number of days of the test date (or of the correction date if a defect correction was needed)
  4. If defects are found, confirm the correction deadline (a defined number of days after the inspection identifying them) and the follow-on Affirmation of Correction filing deadline
  5. File and track the report through DOB NOW: Safety rather than assuming a paper filing is still accepted, since online filing has been mandatory since 2018
