Elevator Disaster at Soho Central Condominium

Elevator Disaster at Soho Central Condominium

The elevators seem to be in state of total collapse to let everyone know. All the usual problems plus buttons not working and elevators out of service and now a doors unable to close with a loud ringing in one as it cannot close. For those not here, we hear more remarks from a greater number of people. Condo unit values can only drop at this point.
 
Today, the service elevator stopped at the 16th Floor with the door unable to open and then we were stuck having to press the alarm.  Someone came and asked what was wrong when the door was forced partially open.  A reply from someone in the elevator was, "Take a guess."
 
All the work being done is either shoddy or not solving the problems that should have never been.
 
I had a conversation with someone from another elevator company and explained to him all the problems.  He is here periodically in the Philippines.  He stated quite emphatically that these issues would never happen with their elevators.  He knows about Otis and where the ones used in the Philippines are made.  Their company makes them in China, too, he stated.  He said their company has strict quality control but he could not say that for Otis.  Well, the result explains that for itself.
 
As someone texted to me today:  The "ultimate solution is to change everything, all elevators that are not functioning since 2009.  In the coming meeting that must be demanded and insisted; otherwise, all will lose their investment"  I have news, we have already lost.
 
Who built our building?  There is a joint venture stated in the Master Deed with Meridien Development and Greenfield Development.  In the Century Properties Annual Report 2013 the following is written:
 
"Our Completed Projects"

"CENTURY PROPERTIES GROUPS has completed 18 projects or a total of 21 buildings in its 28-year history from residential condominiums and townhouses to medical buildings.... The following are several of the company's most important projects so far."

"SOHO CENTRAL PRIVATE RESIDENCES
The Soho Central Private Residences is considered the
Philippines’ first transport-oriented residential condominium,
designed with a walkway connection to the Metro Rail Transit
or the MRT.
Completed in 2009, the 41-story luxury residential and
commercial condominium is located near the intersection
of EDSA and Shaw Boulevard and is right in the heart of the
new Greenfield District in Mandaluyong City. Soho Central
is one of the first fully fitted and fully furnished residential
condominiums in the country."

You judge for yourself.
