TIL getting an elevator tech to just come out to look at your building's elevator is about $1600. If it's an easy fix, that's all you need to pay. If it's not, it goes up significantly....
- MichaelZuo 3mo agoDon’t they need to sign something legally binding, the moment they adjust even one minor internal part?
- avidiax 3mo agoI'm not going to claim that elevator malpractice isn't possible, but no elevator is designed with a single point of failure for any safety critical system, so I don't think it's easy or likely to make a mistake that would cause a safety issue.
- lazide 3mo agoA qualified elevator technician can definitely make an elevator fail dangerously spectacularly. They wouldn’t be qualified if they couldn’t.
- cheesecakegood 3mo agoTo be fair, if you pay the repairman, your elevator also goes up :)
- LanceH 3mo agoHe wouldn't be much of an elevator repairman if it didn't go up considerably.
