All existing elevators, having a travel distance of 25 ft or more above or below the level that best serves the needs of emergency personnel for fire fighting purposes, conform with Firefighter’s Service Requirements of ASME/ ANSI A17.3, Safety Code for Existing Elevators and Escalators.

19.5.3, 9.4.3.2

ANSI A17.1 states 25 ft or more above or below the designated level and defines “designated level” as the main floor or other floor level that best serves the needs of emergency personnel for fire fighting purposes or rescue purposes identified by the building code or fire authority. Depending on floor slab thickness and heights this would generally apply to a three-story building, and almost certainly to a four-story building.
