Two of the elevators at St. Joseph Apartments in Erie are working. One is not.

That single broken elevator is causing a lot of problems in the weeks it’s been broken. 

It takes residents to a part of the 3rd floor that is only accessible by that elevator or a set of stairs. 

Those stairs have a chair lift. But the lift is also broken. That means it’s been hard for residents to leave their apartments. 

Ann Marie Malizia lives on the floor, but not in the affected area. 

She called Erie News Now after seeing our report about elevator problems at another low-income senior apartment building in Erie. 

She is concerned for her neighbors who have been affected. She hopes bringing attention to the issue will get them some help.

“I know this isn't the only building that's having these issues,” she said. “With us being government housing, people have a right to know. Also, maybe somebody will actually do something now to fix the situation. I know you can't do everything at once, but try to help.”

This is a developing story. The full report will air Friday on Erie News Now Sunrise.
