[QUOTE="SaskiaKC, post: 2186654, member: 487111"] I came home from the grocery store this afternoon only to spend 20 minutes down on the ground floor waiting in the elevator lobby. The outside crew here working on the fire alarm system had unwittingly shut off both elevators. Soon several tenants were gathered in the lobby wondering if and when we would ever be able to get home. The managerial staff were all off for the day at their staff Christmas party, and had apparently removed both the lobby chairs so that none of us could sit down to rest while we waited. The fire alarm crew were running around asking each other if anyone had the bypass key to unlock and reactivate the elevator. I called the Fire Department, only to be told they would not come because they did not know if anyone was stuck in the elevator. FINALLY one of them found a bypass key and brought the elevator to us. I rode up with a neighbor who, once we reached her floor, said she would be afraid to leave her apartment again. I feel the same way, the more so as one of the outside security guards, when I asked him if he could help us, laughed in my face. I wonder what would have happened if a tenant had called for an ambulance and the paramedics had not been able to take the elevator to the rescue and the tenant had died ... I have already been in touch with two local TV news departments, neither of which will broadcast the stories of what's been happening here. [/QUOTE]
