This document contains two distinct sections: an amendment to the City of Miami’s elevator regulations and the alphabetical index for the 1935 Miami-Dade Building Code.

The first section details Ordinance No. 2149, passed on August 2, 1939 (p. 365). This ordinance amends Section 4820 of Chapter 48 of Ordinance No. 1554. Key changes include:

  • Inspection Reports: All elevator inspectors, including those from insurance or casualty companies, must file full inspection reports with the City of Miami Building Inspector (p. 365-366).
  • Certificates of Operation: The Building Inspector issues certificates valid for three months for passenger elevators, freight elevators, escalators, and building hoists, and six months for dumbwaiters and hand-power freight elevators (p. 366).
  • Fee Structure: The inspection fee is reduced to 2.50 inspection fee if an approved insurance or casualty company inspector files a compliant report (p. 366).
  • Fund Disposition: Fees are paid directly to the City of Miami Tax Collector rather than a special elevator fund, removing the requirement for the service to be self-supporting (p. 367).
  • Emergency Measure: The ordinance is declared an emergency measure for public safety, waiving the two-day reading requirement (p. 367).

The second section provides the Building Code Index by Page (p. 368-375). This index catalogs the code’s provisions by topic, including:
