There’s just so much confirmation bias. I guarantee you one thing - no matter the ultimate observable precursors, I bet there are thousands of buildings across the states that have the same precursors and nothing will be done. Fundamentally maintenance is just not prioritized. This is true both in software and in general. If you want to scare yourself just Google elevator death. Elevators are a perfect example of the issue in that there are regular inspections but inspections do not imply maintenance. I am not even sure how exactly you foster a culture of maintenance at this point.

After reading your comment, I did Google "elevator death", expecting to be dismayed. I came away oddly reassured. It seems that fatal elevator accidents are rare, and that you have much more to fear from your fellow elevator passengers than the apparatus itself, if the news articles are anything to go by. I do have a new fear of drowning in an elevator, though: https://www.israelhayom.com/2020/01/05/young-couple-drowns-in-flooded-elevator-in-south-tel-aviv/ https://www.israelhayom.com/2020/01/05/young-couple-drowns-i...
