Steps to apply online:
Use an eFiling account and log into DOB NOW at www.nyc.gov/dobnow. If you do not have an eFiling account, visit www.nyc.gov/dobnowtips for instructions on how to create one.
Once logged into DOB NOW, select DOB NOW: Safety then Elevator. On the Elevators Safety Filings Dashboard, select +Amusement Device Periodic Inspection. If you have never requested an inspection for the device in DOB NOW, you will be required to register the device in DOB NOW by selecting +Register New Device and entering the required information. DOB NOW will assign an AR
number to the device. This DOB NOW AR number replaces any previously issued AR number.
Once you have registered the device, select the Inspection(s) tab on the left side of the page. Enter the required information about the event and select an inspection date. You will be required to pay the $100 inspection fee – $130 after November 7, 2022 – before you can submit the inspection request. You must submit a separate inspection request for each device that requires an inspection.
