2018 Modernization to Elevator #1
Elevator #1 modernization program has commenced on Monday, January 22^th.  Elevator #1, which is located at the West Wing, will be taken out of service for approximately 12 weeks.  Work will be done from 7:00am until 3:00pm.

During this time, the elevator car will be upgraded with all new call panel equipment, brakes, rollers, motors and cables as part of a complete modernization project. These upgrades are required by NYC Department of Buildings due to recent changes within the elevator building code.  Please be advised that the elevator modernization will consist of noise and shaft echoes throughout the day.

Once Car # 1 is part of our ongoing infrastructure modernization.

We expect elevator #1 to complete by August 1^st.
