This building has a single burnt out elevator, it have a failure rate of 1-8 days per month. This fall it was shut for 'maintenance' for a nearly week, I hear from neighbors that this happened two years ago too.

Elevator to be shut down for a day next week to 'refinish cab metal'.

Got stuck briefly between floors yesterday, and the day before.

Only got stuck between floors on two occasions this week, well actually three time, on one trip I got stuck twice. Still we must have a nice refinished cab now, although I must say I can't tell the difference.

The week is not over.

I think this is what twitter is for.

Just adding another 3 elevator failures to the log since the last post, but then again we were away for a week.

I don't think many potential tenants check twitter, I just hope the landlord will notice these posts and fix the darn thing wants and for all, so far they have only been doing cheap short term fixes.

Elevator in total failure tonight, I dont expect it to be repaired before tomorrow considering the time of the failure, I hear it was still working this afternoon. Ahhh to live in a $4000 walk up....

The old elevator 'Out of Service' sign was up this morning once I reached the ground, I guess walking down is easier than walking up. I wonder how often they have to make a new one of those paper signs?

Elevator 'Out of Service' again tonight, it's been over a year since we have had problems, but twice now in the last couple months.
