Pennsylvania HB358 mandates elevator standards for new apartment buildings and condominiums.

Pennsylvania HB358 amends the Pennsylvania Construction Code Act to require the Department of Labor and Industry to create regulations for elevators in newly constructed apartment buildings and condominiums. Specifically, it mandates that buildings with at least two stories above grade must have at least two elevators within one year of the regulations' effective date. Owners must ensure at least one elevator is operational, except when circumstances beyond their control prevent it. This applies to buildings constructed after the regulations take effect.
