Otis Elevator service technicians repaired the larger of two elevators in Manhattan Housing Authority’s Apartment Towers building Wednesday afternoon, almost 24 hours after it was thought to have been fixed on Tuesday.
MHA executive director Aaron Estabrook said service was restored to the elevator at 2:15 p.m. Wednesday. He said MHA is “cautiously optimistic” the repair will last.
“A few residents will stay in hotels tonight on our expense to ensure the elevator remains working longer than it did yesterday before moving folks back,” Estabrook said.
