§ 14-16-54. Sidewalk elevators and hoists.

Sidewalk elevators or hoists are prohibited and permits for the same shall not be granted except by the city council, in cases where a refusal would cause the property owner undue hardship, due to the impracticability of other installation. (Sidewalk elevators are not recommended, since their use involves accident hazards which cannot easily be eliminated. It is preferable to use freight elevators of standard type operating inside the building line.) Where permitted, they shall conform to the requirements of Part IV of the Elevator Safety Code.

(Code 1967, § 49-94; Code 1985, § 46-112)
