1. You don't often get email from elevator@nwccog.org. Learn why this is important
Hi Colleen,
Thank you so much for reaching out
They will only need a permit for the residential elevator.
The State of Colorado no longer regulates dumbwiatiers, we will not need a permit
For residential elevators they willjust need to apply for the permit, the elevator contractor sends this to us with all elevator drawings.
Then we witness an acceptance test once it is installed and can issue a CO from there.
Let me know if you have any additional questions,
Bryanne

Courtesy Heads Up
Attn: Residential Elevator inspector(s) covering Unincorporated Garfield County (outside City of Glenwood
Springs).
Hello! from Garfield County Plans Examiner, Colleen Wirth.
I have a residential case under review (NOT YET ISSUED).
For a one-family dwelling on now vacant land.
Use will remain PRIVATE residence by lot owner.
Carbondale based architect depicts a "dumbwaiter" and "dumbwaiter shaft" between the lower level 3- stall garage
occupancy and the main level R-3 occupancy pantry area off the kitchen.
Blueprints further show a "future" elevator outside the main residence along exterior covered terrace / adjacent the
main front entry.
No manufacturer's installation specs nor cut sheets submitted for dumbwaiter or future elevator.
It is a steeper sloped lot, presumed mobility is a factor or'aging in place'.
QUESTIONS
1. Where 'future elevator is roughed-in / installed prior to Garfield County building inspector issuing the
Certificate of Occupancy for the residence -- you will want separate elevator inspection permit, correct?
2. Where 'future elevator has no rough-in work / no install before Certificate of Occupancy, do you still want the
client to obtain an NWCCOG elevator inspection permit for this 'dumbwaiter'?
Thanks for your expertise, a response from NWCCOG will aid in our including appropriate COINDITIONS OF
PERMIT to the building permit.
