Residents of Opgang 3 of the apartment complex in Schalkwijk had been in the hair with their hands since 20 May. The lift no longer worked well. For unknown reason, the button had disappeared, with which the elevator can be sent to the ground floor.
As a result, Cees could no longer go outside independently. To get down, he had recently had to go down from the hiking deck on the first floor via a steep staircase. Because Cees needs a walker when walking, it caused major problems.
Lift supplier comes into action
Various owners of the flats submitted a repair request, but that did not lead to a solution. The company that takes care of the maintenance of the complex on behalf of the Owners Association also did not get a foothold at the supplier of the lifts.
Until NH started to interfere with the case. We published it on Thursday Story of Cees. Lift maker Kone absolutely did not want to respond to press questions, but apparently sent a technician with a new button on Friday morning.
Temporary button, but it works
Incidentally, it is a temporary solution, the ‘B’ of the ground floor is written on the button with a felt -tip pen, but that doesn’t matter to Cees and his neighbors. The lift works again and that is the most important thing.
“Look, even the light does it! It’s great that it is arranged right away,” says Cees with a wide smile when we get out of the elevator downstairs. The reporter will receive a hand three times at the farewell.
