Subject: Our Unsteady Elevator

Although the elevator has not broken down recently, it
has been making the loud thumming noise and jerky
motion that usually preceeds it. This is, in my
opinion, a way too frequent state for the elevator.
Especially since I have never experienced this in any
other elevator.
Do we have confidence in the elevator maintenance
company? Whatever repairs they make always seem short
lived. I believe someone mentioned that an elevator
technician said the elevator was "cheap". Perhaps
some key replacements would provide us with a smoother
operation with fewer breakdowns. Is our current
elevator company capable of making that
recommendation? Perhaps it is too expensive, but it
should be looked into.
And when they do visit I would like some communication
as to the cause of the "thumming". I have no idea
what it is or how serious it is. Is it a wheel
slightly off track, lack of lubrication...? It is
common enough that we should know what that noise is
symtomatic of.
In addition the east elevator always has a 15 second
wait at the first floor. This also seems unusual.
Again, I do not know if this is something that can be
simply adjusted or not, but I think it is something
the maintenance company could look at during their
next visit.
Thank you,
Doug
