The recent massive flooding in the West building of 3003 Van Ness has seriously damaged elevators #3 and #4 in the West building (those closest to Veazey Terrace.)

Residents report that one of the other two elevators in the West building has been sporadically out of service, apparently due to workers removing washers and dryers from all of the laundry rooms in the West building. As a result, in recent days residents of the 11-story West building often have had access to only one elevator. Many residents, especially senior citizens, have expressed their concern.

According to management, “it will take some time for the other two elevators to be up and running as they have extensive damage due to the flood.”

See below a photo taken on the day of the flood of one of the elevators that was severely damaged. This elevator and the one adjacent to it are now out of service.
