265 E 66th Tenants Join the List. Let's Collaborate to Bring Change

A resident-run site to share information, coordinate updates, and take collective action around ongoing elevator service failures.

Residents at 265 East 66th Street have experienced ongoing elevator service issues, including:• One elevator out of service for over one month
• Remaining elevators experiencing frequent and unpredictable outagesElevator service is an essential building service in a multi-story residential building. Prolonged outages affect daily life, accessibility, and safety for residents, guests, and workers.

We all grumble in the elevators, comment that no one from management is listening. Collectively, we can put pressure on management to make the investments required to restore the essential services.

In 1988, The New York Times reported on tenants organizing in this building specifically in response to poor building conditions in Manhattan — a reminder that collective action has long played a role in holding building owners accountable.Nearly four decades later, residents here continue to face unresolved service issues, even under new ownership.
