    For the past year, 1 of 2 elevators has not worked 40% of the time. Our HVAC system has been out of service for 1/3 of the past year, especially during the winter. The staff is quite unresponsive to questions. Most recent email has not been acknowledged or responded to, despite 4 follow up attempts
