Delete and revise section 8.6.4.6 to read as follows:

8.6.4.6 Brakes

(a) residual pads (anti-magnetic pads);

(b) lining and running clearances;

(c) pins and levers;

(d) springs;

(e) sleeves and guide bushings;

(f) discs and drums; [and]

8.6.4.6.1.1 Brake maintenance shall be entered in the maintenance records.

8.6.4.6.1.2 A metal tag indicating the elevator maintenance company and date of service shall be attached to the elevator controller.

8.6.4.6.2 If any part of the driving machine brake is changed or adjusted that can affect the holding capacity or decelerating capacity of the brake when required (see Section 2.24.8.3), it shall be adjusted and checked by means that will verify its proper function and holding capacity.

 

§ 2. This local law takes effect 120 days after it becomes law, except that the commissioner of buildings may take such measures as are necessary for its implementation, including the promulgation of rules, prior to its effective date.
