This document is an inspection report and test certification package for elevator equipment at Syracuse VAMC dated April 1-2, 2025.

The package certifies that ten traction elevators (Units P1-P5 and P7-P10) and one hydraulic elevator (Unit P11) at the Syracuse Veterans Affairs Medical Center, located at 800 Irving Avenue, Syracuse, NY 13210, have been inspected and tested in accordance with ASME A17.1, A17.2, and A17.3 standards. All units received a "PASS" classification. The traction elevators have capacities ranging from 2000-4000 lbs with speeds from 250-500 fpm, while the hydraulic elevator has a capacity of 4000 lbs at 125 fpm. Testing was conducted per the A17.1-2016/2019 Code requirements for both Category 1 periodic tests (no-load) and Category 5 periodic tests (full load and 125%). Inspector Nicholas V. Irving, QEI C-6585, conducted all inspections, with mechanical oversight by Corey Dunn. Notable observations include: Units S11, S12, S15, and S16 show signs of excessive rouging of hoist cables requiring lubrication or replacement; Unit P5 requires code-compliant bottom run-by documentation per A.17.1 2.4.2; Unit P3's main car operating panel bell is not functioning without 110v building power; and Units P7, P8, P9, and P10 each exhibit 8 inches of unintended movement. All test results and equipment specifications are documented in the associated Traction and Hydraulic Periodic Test Requirements forms with corresponding Certificates of Inspection.
