ABOUT MESA

This site and the Association is designed to keep you up to date on various elevator industry and elevator Code happenings in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Originally founded as the Massachusetts Elevator Inspectors Association in 1954, a group of inspectors interested in promoting consistency of inspection techniques and congruent Codes and Code use within the Commonwealth began regular meetings.

At that time, each city or town could adopt and enforce any elevator Code as it saw fit.  At one point, it is said, there were over 200 different interpretations.

As late as 1987, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts took over all elevator inspections being performed by local cities and towns, creating a more uniform and safe system.
