Today's NY Daily News paints a scary picture of the operating conditions inside some of the worst elevators within Housing Authority projects, comparing them to a ride on the House of Horrors or the Cyclone. Their survey of the ten worst elevators in city projects produced a laundry list of horrific situations such as one where the outer door simply wouldn't open and residents risked losing fingers while jimmying the door open to get out, buildings where tenants are forced to climb a 14-story urine soaked staircase and cross roofs and one where a woman with a young daughter with cerebral palsy had to call police in order to get the child and her groceries up the stairs while both elevators were out. Meanwhile prosecutors are still investigating the death of Jacob Neuman, the five-year-old who died trying to jump out of a stuck elevator in a Williamsburg Housing Authority project last month.

can't blame the government on these awful things, the residents don't take care of them, they often smell of piss and people do stuff to them all the time.
boo hoo. my heart really goes out to them. Here's an idea. tear them all the f down and let the residents pay rent like normal new yorkers instead of leaching off my taxes like the parasitic tumors they are?
if this building would be owned by a private citizen he would be arrested and charged as a criminal, who in the city is being charged for this
Jesus you yuppies are so out of touch. If you don't give anyone any "handouts" or whatever you like to call it it will just lead to more crime and suffering.
Back on topic, elevators are one of my bigger fears I frequently encounter. In my building I've encountered a woman being trapped inside. Another time I opened the door to walk in and it was 1 or 2 feet off the ground. I just closed the door and walked away. (I think I pressed the outside buttons to try and make it go up or down and possibly resync itself.) My fear of elevators got worse after seeing a certain episode of Six Feet Under.
You get what you (don't) pay for!
