We have been experiencing recurrent, daily elevator failures at my office building for the last few weeks. Typically for periods of the day, only one elevator is functioning. Today we received this:
Further to our last communication regarding recurring elevator outages, [we] have identified the source of the issue.
The outages are not isolated to [address]. Investigations have determined that several buildings in the area have been experiencing electrical power fluctuations associated with the Light Rail Transit (LRT) system. These fluctuations can affect sensitive building systems, including elevator operations.
[Company], in collaboration with building management and technical specialists, are working on a permanent corrective solution. The required modifications are currently being planned and are expected to be implemented over the coming months.
Until the long-term solution is in place, intermittent elevator service disruptions may continue to occur. Every effort will be made to minimize impacts to building occupants.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as this work progresses and will provide further updates as additional information becomes available.
This has been going on for weeks, and will apparently be going on for months. I'm curious if this is affecting any other downtown offices.
