Very unfortunately however, right on the heels of elevator #4 being returned to service, a condition was observed with elevator #3, requiring it be taken out of service.
This too impacting the lobby, 2nd floor and floors 23 to 55.
Specifically, the sheave supporting the elevators counterweight was found to have a bad bearing. The sheave is being removed and taken to their repair shop for the needed work.
Until it is in the shops hand, we won’t know the outlook entirely. Normally, if it is just the bearing it could take only a couple days and they could have it in place as soon as end of day on Friday. However, the Passover and Easter holidays may complicate that timing.
If they find that there is damage it could be about 2 1/2 weeks for a repair to be in place.
Once we know more, we will post updates.
We know the outage of elevator #4 was challenging enough, but when this type of equipment presents a problem, the need repair has to be done. We appreciate everyone’s renewed patience.
