Woman says she was trapped in her home for months due to broken elevator
A woman who uses a wheelchair reported feeling trapped on her seventh-floor condo after the elevator was out of service since last fall. She stated that leaving required calling the fire department, causing significant isolation and loss of holidays. After advocacy regarding potential violations of the Federal Fair Housing Act, the elevator was finally repaired.
