waiting for a part. Sometimes couple days sometimes couple months. I don't why it was not fix. V11 stated

schedule Category 1 testing or at least call their contractor to ensure testing was done? V10 stated that
contractors are in-charge in scheduling testing. Per V10, door restrictors help prevent door from opening
when the elevator is between floor or not in a proper position. It needs the fire department to open the door.
V10 said, If you are stuck in the inside of the elevator, they don't want you to open from the inside. V10
stated that restrictor was not working properly. With the restrictor it acts like a break for the door not to open
when it is not in the proper place. And the city put it in to replace the whole thing. V10 stated, as to cleaning
staff clean from time to time but facility does not have a fix schedule. V10 said, People throw garbage. Bulbs
are burn out and contractor change the bulb as needed.
