Power Outage in 122 on Friday 2/29/08 and Ramp Entrance

At approximately 8pm on Friday, February 29th, the lobby, elevators and certain hallways were without power due to a blown fuse. The outage lasted approximately 25 minutes.

Power to apartments was not affected.

This is similar to the outage during the weekend of February 9th.

On the 9th, at least one resident was stuck in a elevator for about 10 minutes and Management acted quickly to restore power.

When the elevator cabs are upgraded later this year, an intercom will be added so that passengers can contact security.

After the first outage, Management ordered a fresh supply of fuses, which have not yet been installed.

This Thursday, they will interrupt the building's power for about five minutes at 10am to install the fuses. Once again, this will only affect power to the lobby, hallways, stairwells, elevators, water pumps and laundry facilities.

Power to apartments will not be affected.

And speaking of installation, the swipe card readers to the ramp entrances of 122 and 191 are up and running.

I had tested my card about two weeks ago and found it was working then, but I believe Management was still testing and didn't want to make an official announcement until now.
