Sample lead
One lead in this division.
Each lead shows the device, the test or inspection and its result, the other elevator records at the building, the contacts on file, and an opening line for the call.
“Unworked” is a record-matching signal, not confirmation that the owner is seeking bids or has not hired a contractor. How it is worked out.
What the records can and cannot tell you
- A failed test says the device has defects to correct, not how large the repair is.
- Many buildings have a maintenance contract already; a lead is a reason to call, not an open job.
- Results reach the city’s records some days after the test date.
- Every lead is a prospecting opportunity from a public record, not a request from the owner. Check the city’s record by its number before you quote.
Which tests show up as leads?
Failed or late periodic inspections, Category 1 tests (every year) and Category 5 tests (every five years), each listed per device.
Are complaints included?
Yes. A complaint about an elevator that is out of service or unsafe often comes before a violation.
Which contact details do I get?
The owner of record with a confidence rating, the registered managing agent where there is one, a mailing address, and a phone number where the city’s records carry one. Some buildings have none on file; the lead says so.
Does a lead mean the owner wants bids?
No. Each lead is a public city record that points to work, not a request for quotes. The owner may already have a contractor; check the city’s record by its number before you quote.
