A fifteen-story apartment complex full of elderly and disabled tenants...and no elevators.
The elevators at Columbine Towers have been out of service since June 28. The day before, residents were notified by notes on their doors that the elevators would be down the next day for maintenance. But after a week of waiting, the elevators still aren't working.
By the time she got down to the lobby, she was already tired. After she'd walked to the store and back with her groceries, she was exhausted. There were two security guards in the lobby, but when Caballero asked if they could help her carry her groceries up, she says they declined, explaining that they were there just to check people in.
Caballero would like to see a doctor for a follow-up appointment but is scared of the stairs. She says she wants to go once the elevators are repaired, but has been given no timeline., says that building management is working to fix the problems with the elevators, which involve the braking system. Because of a supply-chain issue, required parts aren’t yet available, he adds, but the maintenance team is trying to figure out a solution.
When Caballero first moved in, she liked living in Columbine Towers because it's close to the grocery store, a bus stop and her favorite library branch. But now everything is falling apart, she says.Her apartment, like those of many of her neighbors, has water damage and holes in the walls that were improperly repaired. Her shower tiles have been broken for three months, and no one from management has responded to her requests to fix them.
