New York City tenants have complaints about the elevators in some of the city's popular buildings. They believe that this problem should be immediately solved as the number of violations are increasing, a report from Amny said.
According to the report, the three elevators of the Broome Street in the New York City Department building are among the worst elevators that New York tenants complain about. The management said that the elevators in the building have been fixed back in 2011 to make it "modern" and more safe for the public.
The New York City Buildings Department released last year a list of the five buildings that have accrued more than 10 violations and complaints from the public within the 12-month period. The department also said that the owners of the said buildings have a history in the past of elevator problems.
540 Jackson Ave., Bronx
According to the New York City Department, the six-story building's elevator is not functional and has been out of service for more than 20 years. In fact, the department has summoned the owner of the building back in 2012 because of the elevator problem. The building is owned by 540 Jackson Realty Corp and considered to be the highest offender in the metropolis.
1839 University Ave., Bronx
The elevator in this six-story residential building has incurred a total of four violations back in 2014. It was said that the elevator has been out of service for 15 years and has received complaints that were filed before the New York City Department of Buildings. The department said that the owner of the building is now facing a criminal case because of the elevator violations. The owner of the building is the Soto Corp.
657 Crotona Park North, Bronx
The elevator in this building has been out of service for more than 20 years, according to the New York City Department. The building is owned by 653-567 LLC, and the company has a pending criminal proceeding because of the defective elevator in the building.
New York Post has identified other 10 buildings for having the "worst elevator offenders, based on complaints, violations, maintenance filings and field inspections."
