(1) All passenger elevators and escalators in public places may be inspected by the department to insure compliance with the requirements of the state building code. The department shall establish and charge a reasonable and uniform fee for the inspections that may not exceed the expense of providing the inspection.
     (2) In lieu of inspection by the department, inspections of passenger elevators and escalators to assure compliance with the state building code may be made by:
     (a) a maintenance company representative certified by the department who regularly maintains or services the elevator or escalator equipment; or
     (b) an insurance company representative certified by the department who regularly inspects an elevator or escalator insured by the company against public liability and who maintains a service record of the elevator or escalator.
     (3) When an inspection of a passenger elevator or escalator is made pursuant to subsection (2), a copy of the condition report must be provided to the owner and must be sent to the department. The department may not charge more than $10 for receiving and processing a condition report for each elevator or escalator in any building and for issuing certificates of inspection therefor if the certified maintenance or insurance company inspector doing the inspection certifies to the department that all deficient elevator or escalator conditions noted in the condition report have been corrected and no follow-up by the department in that regard is necessary.
