| Re: Re: the elevator at 595 Broadway, New York, NY 10012. On Friday 5/27 at approx. 4pm a visitor to the 5th Fl. tenant took the elevator from the 5th floor to the lobby. The lobby door didn't fully open. Visitor called 311. Fire Dept. arrived and pried open the door. Landlord says that Bldg. Dept. has shut down the elevator and that the Bldgs Dept. won't allow interim repair of the elevator -- only full replacement which will take 1 to 2 months. Tenant is a 91 year old woman, and needs the elevator keep important doctor's appointments. She also has home-care aids who cannot perform regular tasks such as shopping because they can't walk 5 flights. Tenant is rent stablized and is paying an extremely low rent. It is urgent that the elevator be repaired asap. |
