Steps
Query the SODA API for dataset cxfs-ya8e (Elevator Individual Licenses: New York State Department of Labor) on data.ny.gov
Filter by license number, last name, or license type to find a specific licensee
Check the license status and expiration date fields returned
Cross-reference with NYS DOL's elevator licensing information page for context on license types
Known gotchas
This dataset covers NYS DOL-issued licenses; it is separate from NYC DOB's own elevator agency/inspector license records, so don't conflate the two jurisdictions
Confirm the dataset's last-updated date before treating a 'no results' response as proof a license doesn't exist
