Welcome to the BOMA of Greater Los Angeles Web Site!
CITY OF LOS ANGELES TO INCREASE SCRUTINY OF ELEVATOR OPERATIONS
BOMA/GLA members should be aware that the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS) will be increasing its inspections of elevator cab operations in highrise office buildings starting next week. After a number of spot inspections, the Department believes that some elevators are either not being inspected, or that the certificates of inspection are not being posted in each cab.
According to state law, all elevators must be inspected by the local officials once a year. Please make sure that:
• Your elevators are properly maintained according to all applicable standards;
• Your elevators are inspected annually and records are kept reflecting that inspection;
• The certificates indicating your elevators have passed inspection are posted in each cab.
While the LADBS has the authority to fine an owner $1000 per cab per day for non-compliance, the Department contacted BOMA so that we could remind our members about the importance of compliance.
If you have any questions about the inspection of your elevators, please contact Peter Callas, Chief of the Elevator Inspection Section, LA Department of Building and Safety. Mr. Callas can be reached at 213-202-9831 or pcallas@lacity.org.
Congratulations to the Winners of the 23rdAnnual TOBY Awards Gala!
On September 10, 2008, BOMA of Greater Los Angeles (BOMA/GLA) proudly presented the 23rd Annual Outstanding Building of the Year (TOBY) Awards. The gala was held at the legendary Beverly Hilton Hotel. With more than 550 members and local industry professionals in attendance, this year’s gala certainly lived up to its expectations as one of the most prestigious industry events in Los Angeles.
The night not only offered the recognition of award-winning buildings and excellence in building management, but it allowed everyone to celebrate the green environment of “Emerald City,” the theme to this year’s event. The theme represented the sustainable efforts that BOMA/GLA and the Beverly Hilton Hotel undertook to make the night as energy efficient as possible as well as BOMA/GLA's adoption of the BOMA International Market Transformation Energy Plan and the 7-Point Challenge.
