Elevator in lobby has been not working in over a month, since beginning of June. Very inconvenient and ghetto. Rent is too expensive to have a nonfunctional elevator for over a month. Also with adding new equipment to gym they took away the heaviest kettle bells, new heavier equipment would be great and a functioning elevator. Emailed back and forth with an office member(will not use a name), offered no solution to any of my questions/needs, used AI the whole time to respond to me.
