Elevators Out-of-Order with Increasing Frequency
Since the beginning of the year, we have had numerous elevator breakdowns in multiple buildings:
- 1st August to today - A 1 elevator
- 31 July to today - B 1 elevator
- 24 July A -all elevators
- 28 May A - all elevators
- 27 May F - all elevators
- 9 May F - one elevator
- 30 April B #3
- 24 April F all elevators
- 12 April A #2 #3
- 9 April B #3
- 5 April B #3
- 4 April B #2
- 2 April B #2 et #3
- 1 April B #2 et #3
- 28 March B #1 et #2
- 27 March B #1 et #2
- 26 March B #2
- 22 March A #2
- 19 March B #2
- 18 March B #1 #2 #3 (voluntary shutdown in broad daylight)
- 16 March: A #2, B #2, E #2
- 13 March B #2
This abundance of failures creates some confusion in the information. It's never certain which elevators are operational at any given time, given the frequency of breakdowns. The information about the cause of the breakdowns is not transparent, but it seems that since the connection of the new alarm system, the breakdowns have become more frequent.
There have been failures of elevators in the past, as with any mechanical devices.However, since the beginning of 2023, breakdowns have occurred at a frequency never seen before, which can only be understood as the result of a change in maintenance and management conditions, the visible proof of which is the neglected appearance of the interiors, including the long-standing and never repaired vandalism of panels and buttons.
A 20-story building without an elevator is like an airplane without engines or a grocery store without electricity: it's not a viable business. For people to live here, Minto must urgently restore stability to the elevators!
