NU 12 #3: What pisses you off at the neighborhood? What do you suggest?

Living in a condominium seems to be appealing to those who are after convenience and security reasons. For the single ones or for those with small family size, a one-bedroom unit is just enough space to make oneself comfortable. However, there are some drawbacks to this type of lifestyle. The most unpleasant part of it is the elevator services which I believe is the most crucial service a condominium developer needs to address and prioritize since this is the main access to the different parts of the condominium. In the usual 30 level-condominium, with an average of 20 units per level and 3 tenants per unit, an estimated 1,800 tenants need the elevator daily excluding guests, personnel and security people. The usual number of elevator is only 4 so that each one services about 400-500 people a day. Hence, a broken elevator will just piss you off with the long waiting line and eventually a crowded space inside the elevator.

The most probable solution to this problem is good maintenance of the units which starts with getting the right company to service your building. Some condominium developers provide more number of elevators and others allocate their elevators to specific floors only. The efficiency of the service provider is critical to the quality of service provided by condominium developers. Thus, keeping the elevators in good condition equals satisfaction to owners, tenants, guests and everyone using them. 3
