From ONN --
Maybe the inspectors were busy looking for their lost PDA's.CLEVELAND, Ohio- A published report says Cleveland has failed to conduct safety inspections on thousands of elevators and wheelchair lifts as required by a city law.
The Plain Dealer reports that four out of every five elevators have not been checked since 2005, violating a law that requires annual inspections.
The city has about 3,800 active elevators.
Among the equipment that was not inspected was a church wheelchair lift that's being blamed in the death of an 84-year-old woman.
A report says the lift at Pilgrim Congregational United Church of Christ abruptly stopped, lurched and tipped on April 29.
Jeanne von Sternberg of suburban Parma died about a week later from head injuries a coroner blamed on the lift accident.
