最近，一项针对纽约市电梯安全的调查表明，该市将收缴730万美元与电梯相关的罚款，其中接近半数是涉及主动违规的。The Real Deal为Kathryn Brenzel和David Jeans 七个月来的调查数据写出报告，并做出市内各个建筑不同违规情况的互动式地图。根据调查显示，自2010年以来，该市至少有22人死于乘客电梯或者电梯井道。纽约市房屋管理局对市内的63000台电梯负有监管责任。该局副局长Timothy Hogan称事故发生“少之又少”。根据纽约市法律，电梯设备需要由房屋管理局电梯部门的41名检验员进行年审检验。

　　INVESTIGATION LOOKS INTO NYC ELEVATOR SAFETY

　　A recent investigation into the safety of NYC elevators revealed that the city is owed US$7.3 million in outstanding elevator-related fines, nearly half of which are for active violations. The Real Deal compiled the data from a seven-month investigation by Kathryn Brenzel and David Jeans and maintains an interactive map of many city buildings’ violation status. According to the investigation, at least 22 people have been killed in passenger elevators or shafts in the city since 2010. The NYC Department of Buildings (DOB) is charged with overseeing the 63,000 passenger elevators in the city. The DOB’s deputy commissioner, Timothy Hogan, says the accidents are “few and far between.” To comply with city law, the elevators are required to undergo annual inspections by the DOB’s elevator unit, which has 41 inspectors.
