Elevators

In this picture I see the elevators of building 375 Bleecker Street. We have three elevators in this building. What is really happening in this picture is that there is not a single day that all of the elevators are not working, sometimes two or even all three are not working.

 

We have up to 25 floors in this building. We also have many seniors on wheelchairs living in this building. If the elevators are not working it is a major disruption to our lives.

 

You can just imagine how this problem affects our health with so many seniors living in this building. The elevators being out of service is a major inconvenience. Sometimes we get stuck in the elevators and during summertime it is hot in the elevators with up to 8-10 people stuck and then we end up calling the fire brigade to get people out from the stuck elevators.

 

This is a major problem, if you were to ask the people living in the building, nearly 90% will prefer to have the elevators fixed than any other renovations taking place in the building.

 

There is a lot of renovations taking place in the building like fixing and painting the hallways and balconies, and this is a good improvement to the building but it is a not a major disruption for the people in the building like the elevator problem.

 

Every now and again we have the elevator company come and fix the elevators but not even two days later the elevators are broken and again not working. It is hard for seniors to take the stairs if they want to go out or walk their dog.

 

All the other renovations are good for the beautification or appearance of the building but the elevators are very important for daily use and I think most of the money for renovations should go into properly fixing the elevators once and for all. We will greatly appreciate having this problem fixed more than looking at the minute decorations they are doing to the building.
