One of my tenants became locked in the elevator, however, to make a bad situation she had shut the power off from the inside on the third floor- I already had reset the car but it won't start the car unless she returns the power to on from the inside. As I attempted to relate this to her impatient roommate whom apparently left the woman in the car, re entered her apartment and grabbed a toothbrush. I made several attempts to tell her to advise her roommate to turn the elevator power back to on...she interrupted me continuiously and stated, "can you pls get her out!" I again explained to tell the roommate whom was on the third floor to turn the toggle on as I was on the ground floor near the machine room- again she is screaming and telling me that I need to get her out, and advised if she had given her my directions she would be out already- finally she did and the doors open but in the screaming she also called 911 wasting time as they weren't needed if she had only turned the power on from the inside. The girl gets out, doors opened and engine 278 arrived. The gals began screaming at the fireman who then began screaming at me, as I am proceeding back to the maintence room, he screams at me that he is IN CHARGE and when he is speaking I am to look at him and stop-I advised him that he had no right to yell at me and he can change his tone, and if he wants to talk with me he can walk with me as I needed to turn off the elevator before someone else enters- he followed me all the while screaming like a 4 year old girl having a fit, demanding that I should've had this elevator under inspection- I told him I do have it inspected, and have all of my paperwork, and frankly she could have hit something from the inside and powered the elevator herself, however, our tech was contacted and will inspect the elevator- I asked him why was he screaming as it made no sense and he was as bad as the ladies whom were hysterical, total time of being stuck inside was 9 minutes because the gal had the switch off inside the elevator- Had she listened instead of accusing us of never having our elevator inspected she could have been out sooner but like the fireman, she knew nothing and only screamed accusations. Our elevator is under contract as is the law- and the certificate of proof is posted in the elevator as per law- but this fireman acted so unprofessional with his ape like demands, You look at me when I speak to you, I'm in charge!" Then you speak to me with respect, I never accused him of anything except his apparent hysteria-NOT a good trait to have as a fireman, this guy needs to take a few days off and get ahold of his mental imbalance and perform his job calmly and effectively, TREE HYSTERICAL persons is one two many-I expect this out of the gals but not the fire department crew member, HE'S in charge? We should all be worried- additionally, the elevator tech inspected the elevator and found the cause of the elevator stall was the tenant whom accidentally shut the elevator car off from the inside, just as I suspected- I think the lafd hysterical member and the tenant should split the $325.00 bill, he for being reactionary instead calm and reasonable, full of accusations and the tenant for locking herself inside the elevator- your type if response is useless- next time you decide to yell at me for no reason, check your depends, your sour mood has nothing to do with me, leave your dirty laundry at home- read more
