SDSU Parking Elevators Operating With Expired Permits

The Associated Students Campus Community Commission at San Diego State University (SDSU) in California found that campus parking structure elevators have been operating under expired permits since 2023, The Daily Aztec reports. According to school officials, the elevators are currently in compliance with California Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA) Elevator Unit permitting standards but are pending inspection. “For context, permits may lapse temporarily due to delays in the state’s inspection scheduling,” a school official said. “SDSU Facilities Services has requested inspections by the state inspector and has also received confirmation from Cal/OSHA that it has received the request. Additionally, Cal/OSHA has confirmed that, pending forthcoming inspections, our elevators are permitted to continue operating.”Elevators have been regularly maintained by an external vendor and deemed safe to operate, the official said. Affected elevators are currently operating with a temporary permit sticker.
