Elevators: Tiles in elevator lobby

Elevators: Tiles in elevator lobby

What concerns built and continue to deal with this building?  What a mess and it just gets worse. After the drilling and demolition, I could feel and hear certain tiles near the elevators when walking.  I ask that all Unit Owners step on every tile in their floors' lobbies to see if there are any movements or sounds.

The tiles near this make noise and move.  Our building seems to be rotting from the inside out. 

Elevators: UNACCEPTABLE ENTRANCES

Yes, the restoration of the demolished elevator entrances to attempt to fix the elevators is unacceptable.  What a mess.  Just take a look and compare to those that had not been demolished.  The restoration work has been awful.

These are just of a few photos of the dozens that will be placed going from floor to floor.  Look at the 21st floor elevators entrances.

Elevators: PE2 stuck

Elevators: PE2 stuck

I was just told that at about 7:10PM this evening Passenger Elevator 2 was stuck. The lit sign above the elevator doors in the lobby had a dash (-) signal with the guard speaking to someone on the walkie-talkie with the other party saying it was normal or words to that effect. The elevators doors opened and a woman emerged who was angry stating she was stuck and then she left. There was also a line. That elevator was placed out of service.

What is written in this blog are only some of the elevator incidents and certainly not all. What this fraction is we cannot guess at since so much is kept from the Unit Owners. Transparency is not practiced.

While in the past I heard rumors that some sold units at a slight profit or around the amount purchased, many more were sold below what was paid for. I know many who buy units in the Philippines have realized the loss they purchased and the word has spread. How bad is it at Soho Central? The sales agents and ads for most developments were false. This is now talked about as the norm.

Elevators: Entrances' Restoration UNACCEPTABLE

Elevators: Entrances' Restoration UNACCEPTABLE

The restoration of the demolished elevator entrances has been horrible. The rotten and shoddy work cannot be approved. It bring downs the value of the building and its units. Photos have been taken and more will be taken. If the entrances were constructed as they were for turnover, there is no reason why they cannot be put back to that look and condition. They look awful after being restored. Of course, the terrible appearance of many floor tiles that were also damaged as well as paint staining the floors is awful. Why proper care and time was not taken is not known.

Elevators: PE1, PE2 and PE3 not rising or falling

Elevators: PE1, PE2 and PE3 not rising or falling

Yes, only three doing whatever they can today. We all did buy in a building with six elevators, right? They were all supposed to be operating safely since 2009, right? We have seen mechanical works and demolition and rotten restoration, right?

 

Hmm, we all did buy in a building with six elevators, right?

Elevators: PE3 and PE1 not operating yesterday, today who knows

Elevators: PE3 and PE1 not operating yesterday, today who knows

I have no idea how those currently running are functioning but given history as a lesson they will not run well and will fail. These elevators should be labeled BS1 through BS5 with the service elevator as the Joker. See, we all bought into crap. Sorry, but after five years of elevator problems along with other serious issues, this building can only be rated as a failed joke.
