Vendor Update
IMPORTANT MD UPDATE:
We wanted to let you know that we had technicians come out to inspect the elevator. Unfortunately, despite their visit, the elevator is once again out of service.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this will cause. Please know that we are actively working to have the issue resolved and will do everything we can to get the elevator back up and running as quickly as possible.
We appreciate your patience and understanding while we work through this issue. We will provide updates as soon as we have more information.
