In interviews and emails, more than a dozen residents told The New York Times about living in what one of them described as “high-rise hell,” and about how they have reorganized their lives as a result. They have canceled plans, missed appointments, been late for work, ditched heavy strollers, contemplated moving. (But how do you move out of a high-rise without a reliable elevator?) he 22nd floor.
The building’s owners, DTH Capital, say that Con Edison must step in to resolve the problems, which they maintain are likely related to electrical surges from Con Edison equipment. The owners say they have hired teams with elevator, electrical and engineering expertise to get to the bottom of the problem.
“These experts have so far been unable to determine the source of the surges and believe that we will not be able to do so without the full collaboration and 24/7 support of Con Edison,” DTH Capital said in a statement.
Con Edison, in turn, says it has conducted extensive testing at the building and found “no indication that our power supply is deficient or compromised.”
“To date, we have not been presented with any plausible theory as to why the elevator problems, which have developed since work to install a new elevator system began, are related to Con Edison equipment or service,” the electric company said in a statement.

This elevator failure was caused by Climate Change. How do I know that? Everything bad is caused by Climate Change. Al Gore said this, and it was later verified by Greta Thunberg.
I can see one of them being wrong. But not both of them.
Save D Erf. Live in a high-rise and save billions of pristine acres of ground for whatever
I’ll bet it is NOT a TRUMP building.
If it were, we would be assulted with that “fact”.
I asked a business colleague how such a civilized city could have that kind of problem.
"You'd be surprised," he said "when you allow immigration from third world countries." Not saying that is what is happening here, just observing that we have a large homegrown population with third world values in the USA.
Some teenage kids in the building found the janitor/fireman keys are are playing games.
From what I’ve heard, elevators and hallways in public housing projects reek of urine.
Gremlins
1)Re-pull the conductors from the main to the elevator disconnect.
2)Install new elevator controls.
3)Perform above work on Sundays-Double OT
Ghosts ,poltergeist or just rats chewing the wiring?
Why? the reason is simple. The people who know how to run and maintain the elevators, like many other technically and mechanically capable people, mostly live in the suburbs, value their own well being and safety. They do not want to go into New York City and are able to get good jobs maintaining elevators near their homes.
Elevator trouble is the first sign that the building has become self aware and is starting to exert control over it’s residents.
There is only ONE conculsion.
the Elevator is a racist. and global warming.
You’re wrong!! This elevator failure was caused clearly by the unvaccinated....and Putin!
Look for the union label.................
I couldn’t help but to recall an incident back in my kollege daze. I was in an elevator that was full of other stud-ents, and some of them decided it would be a good idea to start jumping up and down in unison. The elevator got stuck, but it recovered and returned to normal operation in short order.
The interesting part was that only a couple of weeks later, the elevator was condemned and shut down for having bad cables.
U.S. cities are quickly becoming a dystopian nightmare.
