</div><div>- The first is an annual inspection. This is completed by the state of Colorado Conveyance Section and the contractor. A passing inspection will produce the Conveyance Annual Certificate of Operation. This is normally completed in October or November.
- The second inspection is a 5 year maintenance inspection. This is completed by a 3rd party elevator group such as Morning Star.
- We must also do a monthly test to verify that communications are working properly. This is outlined below. It is also printed and left in the mechanical room.

2\. Let them know all is well and that you are conducting a monthly test of the elevator communications.

3\. Ask them to tell you your location.

4\. Can you see my video? If the video is working you will see call connected on the video screen. They will see you but you will not see them.
