Description
The Fall River Housing Authority is ignoring our elevators again. The elevators are supposed to be inspected every year, according to Massachusetts law, but some of ours are over four months past due. If I drove my car with an expired inspection sticker and got caught, I would have to pay a fine, but the FRHA never gets so much as a slap on the wrist. If the elevators weren't unsafe, why do they refuse to have them inspected?

All elevators should be inspected in a timely manner. I don't think they are refusing to inspect them, it's just back-burnered like so many other housing issues!

This isn't a "housing issue", it's a safety issue. Would you like to be in one of those elevators when the cable breaks and you fall 150 feet into the basement? If anyone gets hurt in these elevators, for any reason, I hope they use the lapse in inspections to sue the FRHA and the city! Such a lawsuit could potentially make someone rich!

Inspections done, months late!
