AI Summary

Building owners of R-2 occupancies, such as apartment buildings, must post signage at each elevator with the contact information of the elevator servicer and the elevator's identification number. The bill also directs the DCA to establish a loan program to help owners of senior housing properties maintain their elevators, with lower interest rates and more flexible repayment terms than conventional loans.
