The back elevator is currently out of order. I don’t have specifics, but given the holiday and the weekend I’m guessing it may be a few days before it’s fixed. Without the back elevator, it may be necessary for dogs to occasionally use the front one. Please be patient and considerate, whether you’re a dog owner or someone for whom sharing the elevator with a canine is uncomfortable. If someone asks you to take the next one, please be kind and do it.

Also, if you’re getting rid of your Christmas tree, please wrap it carefully in a plastic bag/drop cloth or an old sheet when taking it out of the building so you don’t trail needles. This is especially important if you feel compelled to take it out via the front elevator rather than using the stairs or waiting for the back one to be fixed. Again, please be considerate of your neighbors.
