  I live in a building, **** ***** ** *******. The Otis elevators have been malfunctioning for two years (the entire time I’ve lived here). They are always, I mean always, down for one reason or another. We have been told by our management that Otis continually comes to “fix” the elevators, but there has never been a real solution. They go out for days, weeks and months at a time. If they do work, they quickly go down again. Otis is allegedly always here but nothing gets fixed. People have gotten stuck in the elevators constantly. It is causing overcrowding in the one working elevator in the building. They allegedly always come to fit but they are never fixed in the long or even medium term. They’ll “work” on it all day and they’ll work for a couple hours before going down again. It is causing a very dangerous situation in the building. Overcrowding and people getting stuck, not to mention tenants paying rent for something that does not work.

  We thank you for taking the time to reach out regarding your concerns. We have contacted our local team and the account manager of the **** ***** account has informed us that they have responded to a service request on 12/11/23 and 12/12/23 and have been in constant communication with property management regarding their service requests and equipment issues. Otis will continue to communicate and work with property management. Your best recourse is to continue working with your property management as they will have the most updated status on repairs. We thank you for your patience during this time.
  Thank you,

  Complaint: ********
  
  I am rejecting this response because:
  

  This has been an ongoing issue for approaching two years (or maybe even longer). The incidents on December 11 and 12 are only the latest. I have lived in this building since March 2022, and at least one elevator has been out of service most of the time I’ve been here. Our building keeps calling Otis, they come, and then the issue resurfaces. They had to come again on December 13, meaning they came three straight days, never fixing the problem long term. In the countless number of times Otis has come to fix the problem (I would not be surprised if it’s over 100 times since I’ve been here), there has never been a permanent solution. Sometimes they claim it’s a parts issue. It is outrageous there has never been a long term solution. The elevators are subject to break anytime. People have and will continue to get stuck in a suddenly inoperable elevator. The whole building is always forced to share one working elevator (if one is even working) which creates so many issues, including overcrowding. There has not been any efforts whatsoever to permanaty fix this problem that has existed for nearly two years.

  
  Sincerely,
  
  **** *****

  Otis elevator is absolutely non responsive. I have received a violation from the *** for a negligent inspection and have tried repeatedly to contact Otis with NO response. It is absolutely ridiculous. I have contacted my service rep and his superior by email and phone and NO response at all. This us a 3000 dollar violation that Otis is responsible for.

  Our building ID is ********

  This violation was sent this week and covers the period during which Otis serviced this elevator and was responsible for all inspections as per our contract.

  We were released from our contract with Otis two weeks ago as we were very unhappy with their service.

  Thank you for the information you shared. We understand that these notices can be alarming. These notices relate to the Department of Building’s (***) new and recent enforcement initiative regarding fines for unfiled or untimely filed Affirmation of Corrections for Periodic and CAT 1 inspections. This new *** initiative is different from prior *** precedent. As an elevator industry, the industry is engaging with the *** to get more guidance from the *** regarding these notices, which we anticipate receiving from the *** over the next coming weeks. We appreciate your patience and understanding, and we will communicate more information regarding the ***’s position as soon as it is provided to us.

  Respectfully,

  The interesting thing about this response is that at first they told me they weren’t responsible and now they need more time. Meanwhile I have a violation that is expected to be paid by the elevator company that was under my employ at the time that filed the affirmation past the due date which is why I’m receiving the violation in the first place.

  i don’t accept this answer as the only answer is that they will pay the violation as it’s 100% their responsibly to do so.

  It’s not my problem that these are “next wave violations” from the ***. Nor is it my concern that they need time to process these violations sent out.

  Otis is 100% responsible for this violation and must pay it ASAP.

  In May of 2021 I contacted Otis to repair my residential elevator. They sent a quote in June of 2021, and sent a serviceman and apprentice in late November 2021. I spoke with the Account Manager in early December 2021 about the work not providing what was quoted and he agreed to lower the invoice to $900. I contacted them again in March of 2022 asking that the invoice reflect the agreed upon $900 and and I was sent a revised invoice that I promptly paid. In April 2022 I received a quote for a work order to install new relays that I asked for some changes with more details and then I signed off on. They responded that they would get the order processed and then let me know when they would be able to come. That was towards the end of April of last year and I have not heard from them since. Since April of 2022, despite having paid the corrected invoice in full, I have continued to receive invoices. The invoices first had the work paid for and then have added additional work never done and interest on the unpaid amount. I have discovered that the original invoice had Customer Number #******** and the paid invoice has the customer number #********. The subsequent invoices have the Customer Number #********. I contacted the Otis Customer Service line and they told me that I would need to speak with my Account Manager. I spoke and then emailed my new Account Manager in May of 2023 and she assured me that the invoices would be cleared and that they would contact their technicians and get back to me about the still needed repair. I never heard back and the invoices have continued. I reached back to the Customer Service line and they informed me that the Account Manager has left the company and said I would need to resolve matters with the newest Account Manager. I emailed the new Account Manager and have gotten no response. Based on other complaints, it appears that billing for services not delivered is standard for Otis. I hope that is not the case.

  Good afternoon,

  We have been in communication with the local team. The regional sales manager informed us that they spoke with the customer. Otis will credit the maintenance invoices because the unit was shut down; thus, the company hasn't been able to perform any maintenance since. The customer informed him they still wanted Otis to work on their elevator. He is having a meeting to go to the site and perform a survey on what's required to return the unit to service. We will continue to work to resolve this for our customers.

  
  Kindly let us know if you have further questions.

  I live in *** **** *********** ******* in ****** ****** **. We have had frequent trouble with our elevator for years. Otis Elevator is supposed to perform weekly maintenance, yet the elevator breaks down frequently, and we are told that parts may take a week or more. Last week, two separate incidents of entrapment occurred. Then the elevator broke down completely. This is a five story bldg with disabled people, elderly people, and parents with small children. There are over 80 steps for residents to the top floor where the laundry is located. Otis does not respond with urgency. We are told that the parts are unavailable or some such excuse; yet Otis is an enormous company. We were without the elevator for more than a week just a couple of months ago. They cannot seem to get it right and have a laissez-faire attitude toward repairs. I have a disability that makes climbing the stairs to and from my unit extremely difficult, slow, and painful. A fifth floor resisdent is in a wheelchair. He is effectively trapped. I have tried contacting Otis, but they will speak only to property management here. With no other avenue of complaint open, I am reporting to the BBB.

  Hello,

  On December 15, 2023, the elevator in the condominium building went out again. The elevator goes out in one way or another at least twice per month for the last year. Sometimes the onsite property attendants can "reset it", but often Otis Elevator has to come out. In the meantime, the people in the bldg have to use the stairs. I am disabled and live on the fourth floor. There is a man on the fifth floor in a wheel chair. People have bicycles, groceries, strollers, holiday packages... to take down. To get to my apartment requires climbing 64 outdoor cement steps. To the fifth floor, there are 80 steps. Otis cannot seem to keep the elevator running. Yesterday, the property mngmt notified them of an urgent repair. That was approximately 36 hours ago, and we have have no elevator service. I filed a BBB complaint about the exact issue several months ago, apparently to no effect. Otis has the contract for elevator maintenance, but they do not keep it running or maintained. I called the company dispatch to file a complaint and was told someone would call back. Of course, they did not. This problem has a severe impact on the lives of everyone in this building as well as delivery people and staff. One neighbor had a water delivery scheduled and had to cancel it bc the water company does not allow their employees to climb 80 steps with a 60 lb. bottle of water. Local grocery stores will not deliver to the doors of those above the 3rd floor.We are all fed up with the extremely poor customer service from Otis Elevator.

  To ********* ***** and Whomever it May Concern,

  The Maintenance Team and Board of Trustees at *** **** Condominiums are fully aware of the numerous proposals submitted by Otis from May 2016 – December 2023 regarding solutions to their non-reliable units. These proposals include solutions related to issues related to swing doors, oil viscosity, oil temperature, machine room temperatures, etc., all items of which are excluded from the elevator maintenance contract in place. Currently, *** ****’ Maintenance Team and Board of Trustees has a clear understanding of potential resolutions for their units.

  We continue to work closely with their team to determine the best course of action to rectify their location’s issues. However, the solution options we have provided to help alleviate many of the issues (of which have been brought forward within this BBB complaint) have been met with resistance by the property representatives. It is noteworthy that we have recently worked with *** ****’ Board of Trustees to proceed with proposals to install tank heaters on two elevators, and we will continue to monitor the improvement of these units once the tank heaters are installed. Furthermore, it was relayed that a load test is needed for their elevator that continues to leak oil, and also that numerous units within their buildings have warped swing door frames which need to be addressed soon.

  Otis will continue to work to rectify the issues being experienced by the units at *** ****’ locations. However, it will take a concerted effort on behalf of *** ****’ Board of Trustees and Maintenance Team to act and ultimately allow Otis to perform the necessary work to improve their units.

  Furthermore, please see the following areas of note regarding the customer’s complaint:

  - The unit was 10 gallons low on oil upon inspection. A static test was completed on the elevator by the field mechanic which did not indicate a leak. It has been recommended that we complete a full load test to further investigate the cause of oil loss.
  
  - There is a safety protocol within the controller’s software that places the car into viscosity mode when the oil dips below a certain temperature. This prevents calls from being received for approximately 30min until the tank is heated to the required temperature. This is misinterpreted by the tenants who believe the unit to be shut down so by the time the mechanic arrives for a service request the unit Is back in service. Tank heaters have been proposed which would prevent the unit from going into viscosity mode by maintaining a stable temp.
  
  Best Regards,
  Otis Elevator

  Good morning. I tried to fill out your online form but it wouldn't go through.  Please let me know if you need further information.
  
  ********** ********** ******* had an annual contract with Otis Elevator to maintain our Elevator. They were responsible for three elevator maintenance visits a year to the *******. They did not come any times. Thus, I requested that they cancel the contract. They didn't. They continue to bill us. I had to sign another elevator contract with another company in order to maintain our elevator. We are a non profit public *******, we cannot afford to pay two companies! I have spent an inordinate amount of time emailing and calling Otis with no virtually no response and no headway. They continue to send us invoices for a contract they are not executing. Additionally, when we did call them because we had a problem with the elevator, they did not respond. Each month, when I receive the invoice from them, I remind them that I have requested that they stop invoicing us as they are in breach of the contract. My last contact was on August 9th when, in response to my email, they sent me a contract "buy out." I responded to this email with a phone call that was never returned and an email asking them to call me. Neither were responded to. Please see this email attached. They have never been in our building since the contract was instated. I just need this to end. I'm hoping that you can help. 
  
  I am requesting that Otis cancel our contract with no fees.

  We sent notice to Otis Elevator July 29, 2021 that we wanted to cancel our maintenance contract with them which was expiring October 31, 2021. We gave them them required 90 days notice. They then sent us a statement that we renewed and owed for our October 2021 contract. We responded to their invoice by notifying the person listed on the statement and she said she would take care of it. We then got a past due notice. In October of 2022, they sent us another statement saying we owed finance charges and another years contract price. I called Sumedh which was the person listed on that statement and she said and I quote "It was a mistake. They have multiple systems and it is automated. I am removing the contact info and am 100% positive you won't get another statement." We continue to get a statement every month from a different person every month. We responded just last month and have another statement saying we owe 2 years contracts and 2 finance charges. We have done everything we can to get rid of these statements. We owe nothing legitimate to Otis Elevator and do not know how to make this stop.

  Date: 08/15/2023

  Good morning,

  We reached out to the local team and received a response. Richard B*******, the general manager for Otis' Midwest - Western region, informed us that this contract has been canceled and the account is free and clear. They show a zero balance in the system and should no longer receive a statement.

  We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused our former customer. Richard sent an email to the customer but had not received a response as of yesterday. 

  Kindly let us know if there is anything else we can do on our end.

  Have a wonderful day!

  Hurricane Ian on Sept. 28, 2022 destroyed the entire first floor of our 8 story condo along with our two elevators. I am disabled so this means I am unable to access my home on the 5th floor until we have an elevator. Once the mud, water and rubble were removed, our ******** **** **** ****** *********** (HOA) notified Otis in **** ****** *******, for restoration of the elevators. Otis demanded full payment of $588,800.00 before they would even order parts. Otis and our HOA signed a contract on Oct. 18, 2022 for complete repair and replacement of the elevators. Our HOA paid in full in Dec. 2022 as soon as we could get the money. It has been 10 months since the hurricane, 9 months since the contract was signed, and 7 months since they were paid in full, yet Otis has done nothing and, without an elevator, I, as a disabled person, have not been able to access my home for 10 months. The condo is for residents who are 55+ so there have been a number of serious falls on the stairs by residents who have attempted to go to their homes. every time our HOA contacts Otis they promise a completion date that they do not meet. The promises have been for May, then June, then July, then August and now September. And we have no faith September will be met. They have had our full payment and done absolutely nothing. I want to get back into my home. Please make them do the promised work for which they have been paid. The contract was between Otis Elevator Company in *** ****** **, signed by ***** ****** Our HOA is *** ******** ***** **** **** ***** ***** ******** **.

  I am rejecting this response because:

  Yes, the local office again made a promise for some kind of action in 2 weeks as they have done about 10 times in the past. They failed to comply in every one of those situations and have still done nothing.  The HOA board keeps us informed of the excuses and failures of Otis to live up to promises.  You are incorrect in saying that the local office of Otis committed to complete the work in 2 weeks.  After numerous calls, emails and false promises over the past 9 months, Otis committed to finally START Phase 1 of the rebuild within two weeks.  They continue to tell us that they are WAITING FOR the elevator cab and doors and have given no date for that. Obviously, we can not operate an elevator without a cab and doors.  Otis is a huge worldwide company with a market cap of $37.21 billion and issued their earnings report for the second quarter a couple days ago reporting net sales of $14 billion and adjusted profit of over $2.25 billion. I would expect that with that kind of dominance, Otis has the clout to get parts for an elevator in less than 9 months and yet they have been making excuses and still have no dates for delivery of the parts or completion of the rebuild.  I would like to get into my home on the fifth floor and it is only Otis that is preventing that from happening while I continue to pay the full fare for HOA fees and assessments, taxes, a land lease and utilities. I strongly suggest that Otis use its clout to demand that the needed parts be provided.  I would like a commitment on the date of delivery of all the parts and the completion of the rebuild and I would like the complete rebuild to be ASAP as Otis has had full payment for the job for over 7 months

  We are sorry to hear you are not satisfied. This has been brought to the appropriate OTIS party and your local contact.  We thank you for your patience. Your best recourse is to continue working with your property management as they will have the most updated status on parts and repairs. Otis is continuing to communicate and work with property management. 

  Customer Answer

  I am in daily contact with property management. They have been patient and it has gotten them nowhere.  We have a simple question which requires a simple date for an answer and we need action.  Promises from your local office have been plentiful and never acted upon.  please provide, in response to this complaint, or to property management, a date for receipt of the necessary parts, the cab and doors, and completion of the rebuild.  When will people who cannot climb stairs get into their homes? It has been over 9 months since Otis signed a contract to rebuild the elevators and you have had full payment for over 7 months with no action.

Please note we did get the elevator repair from a local company and only an internal battery was causing the stuck door. That repair/replacement and inspection was $175.00.
