I am unfortunately a tenant in this nightmarish building. On June 6, 2008, a Friday, I was riding up to my apartment on Elevator No. 3, when the elevator suddenly slammed to a stop between fllors and fell several floors before again jolting to a loud stop. Thrown to the floor, I groped for some way out. Although the front desk soon became aware of our plight, they did not keep in contact with usand did not call for help from the fire department. The building personnel never did rescue us. As the air faded and the heat mounted in the car I was able to call 911 on a cell fone and the fire department eventuall arrived and pried us from the car, which was stuck between 24 and 25. I was badly hurt but without access to the cell I am sure worse would have happened

This doesn't surprise me at all. I live here and the management is absolutely incompetent, the elevators are frequently broken and if they break after 5 on a Friday they don't get fixed until Monday. I imagine they didn't call the fire department because they don't want the city knowing how poorly maintained the elevators actually are.

I won't dispute the fact that the elevators need a lot of work, but, as a tenant for several years, I took the review with more than a few grains of salt. The statement that the air was fading struck me as completely without merit. There is always plenty of air in the elevators - it shoots up the shafts. This alone made me think that the tenant, with probably a bone or two to pick, was using his experience to criticize the building. Fading air and mounting heat make it sound like a tragedy was in the making. I don't buy it! And when one "fact" is false, I find it difficult to accept the rest.

Well Anonymous, I can tell you that it depends on whether the buildings have "open shafts" and "closed shafts". Open shafts allow air to circulate from the outside, whereas closed shafts do not. If this building has a "closed shaft", then it is quite possible for air, at some point, to thin, especially if the fan is not operating. Remember your human biology, in a closed environment, you take IN Oxygen, and EXHALE CARBON DIOXIDE.
