[ANDREWWALLFORD123]

Shouldn't safety checks elevator properly before re-used. I think might be unsafe elevator enquipment what will could happen! Should re-upgraded more improvement in nearest the future forever than worst.

@ANDREWWALLFORD123

Massachusetts allows failure to a degree. The most recent video I posted of this showed it failed inspecxtion, but it's still rideable.

[ANDREWWALLFORD123]

@georgef551 Well ok, because the lift will re-fix-it the elevator is more clearly to improvement work. But this is tight loss problem bit rattle cage on the lift anyway. More careful to used elevator might be unsafe for use them really. Ok take care.

@ANDREWWALLFORD123

In the most recent videos, it's no longer a Death Trap, as most of the problems went away. The ceiling is still loose, and it sometimes rocks.

[ANDREWWALLFORD123]

@georgef551 OK.

[Balarick]

new ceiling panels are better fix for this elevator. it looks nice. that bumping could be fixed. its a decent shopping mall elevator.

what are the deathtrap levels?

[georgef551]

It's in the descriptions, at the bottom (DT levels).

If they fix the ceiling, it'll be reduced to bare minimum DT ratings, and not be considered dangerous.

Does La'Salle malls have allied barton security?

[georgef551]

I don't know. I never checked for a website, or looked at their badges.

[NHB2010]

If Schindler Maintained this elevator it would be better!

[georgef551]

If ANYBODY actually maintained it. :D

[KONEelevatorman111]

@georgef551 I wonder why KONE is doing such a bad job maintaining this one? KONE does EXCELLENT in Boston since there office is in Braintree . The elevator in my school runs very well and I see them work on it every couple months.

[georgef551]

It's a mall. Landlords don't like to spend money where it doesn't need to be spent. This is why Simon is famous for their death traps, and apperently, La'Salle is no different. This needs to be ripped out (or the mechanics), and get EcoDisc'd. Like some other store I saw here on YT, riders can use the freight (probably manned for safety) for the time being.

[KONEelevatorman111]

If they put an EcoDisc in it will be just like XXI Forever in Roosevelt field because some other Long Island filmers filmed that one and THE INDICATOR DOES NOT WORK WHEN IT"S BRAND NEW AND IT ALREADY BROKE!

[georgef551]

Roosevelt Field is a craphole. 'Nuff said. :)

Sometimes, new elevators don't work right. There was one at Pheasant Lane (forget which) that was very rough, and "crashed" at 1. Eventually, they ran fine ever since (or whatever time frame Simon Mall ones work right).

[KyFriedPlatypus]

Isn't the elevator maintained by macy's?

[georgef551]

La'Salle Malls. It's their property. Macy's is just a tennant.

[pnwelevator]

This is a perfect example of SIMON Maintenence.

[KONEelevatorman111]

@pnwelevator This is not a SIMON mall. It's owned be La'Salle.

[georgef551]

La'Salle owns this mall.

Simon, La'Salle, same crap upkeep.

I wouldn't be surprised if Simon eventually owns this place.
