What is elevator maintenance?
Elevator maintenance covers the regular inspection, servicing, and repair work elevators need to run safely, and it’s typically the condominium association’s responsibility rather than any individual unit owner’s.
Why does elevator maintenance matter?
An elevator that’s out of service isn’t just an inconvenience, for residents with mobility challenges or upper-floor units, it can mean being genuinely cut off from their own home. Skipping scheduled maintenance to save money is one of the fastest ways to turn a small mechanical issue into a major, costly failure.
