Elderly and disabled residents living at 1459 Wythe Place in Highbridge have been dealing with constant elevator outages along with other concerns.<\/p>\n
Souraya Isecury has been a resident at the building for 18 years, and she says these issues are getting to be too much to handle. <\/p>\n
“Ugh! This elevator has been an ongoing issue for years,” says Isecury.<\/p>\n
Now dealing with respiratory problems, Isecury says it’s very difficult to get in and out of the building.<\/p>\n
“I have to go up so slow up the flights and stop at every flight. The neighbors can tell you I huff and puff,” Isecury explains.<\/p>\n
Down the hall is Martha and her disabled son who are basically home-bound.<\/p>\n
“My son really doesn’t want to go down at all because if his heart rate reaches a certain level he can have a stroke,” says Martha.<\/p>\n
Management put out a notice in August saying that the elevators should be fixed by Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n
