How do I file a complaint?

The Maryland Elevator Safety Review Board complaint FAQ directs consumers to its complaint form: "If you wish to file a complaint against a licensed elevator mechanic, contractor, elevator renovator mechanic, contractor or accessibility lift mechanic, please complete a complaint form to the best of your knowledge and ability."

Maryland’s elevator complaint form is a separate public resource; your InstaBids request can still describe the work and invite written bids on that scope.

What information do I include with my complaint?

The Maryland Elevator Safety Review Board complaint FAQ asks for correspondence alongside the information requested on its form: "In addition, please include any e-mails or other correspondence between you and the contractor or mechanic."

Source: Elevator Safety Review Board complaint FAQ, read 6 November 2026.

The FAQ also specifies contract and payment documents: "In addition to the specific information requested on the complaint form, you should attach a copy of the contract (front and back of all pages) and proof of payment to the contractor or mechanic, such as copies of both sides of each check."

The contract documents named in Maryland’s elevator complaint guidance highlight why a detailed InstaBids request should describe the work before written bids arrive.

What happens after I file a complaint?

The Maryland Elevator Safety Review Board complaint FAQ describes its initial process: "After the board receives your complaint, it is reviewed to determine if the Elevator Safety Review Board has jurisdiction over the complaint, and is assigned a complaint number and complaint file is created in our complaint system."

The FAQ describes its acknowledgement timing separately: "In approximately two weeks, you will receive a letter from the board confirming receipt of your complaint."
