According to a report by the $4, less than two weeks after the accident, tenants claimed the building's other elevator was still malfunctioning. According to the report, the faulty elevator has prompted some to form a tenants association and start a rent strike. The tenants have been reportedly advised by an attorney to $4.

"You never think, in a building where I am paying $2,800 for studio, that you could die from the elevator," a tenant told the New York Post.

ATA Enterprises, the property management company that manages the Manhattan Promenade, was $4, forcing tenants to $4

Despite being told the elevator is safe to ride, $4.

"A doorman even accompanied people last week because they were scared and during that journey, it got stuck on a floor and they had to go to another floor to get out," a tenant told the New York Post in late August.

ATA Enterprises did not immediately respond to Business Insider's request for a comment.

Issues with New York apartments are part of a troubling trend. Weeks ago, two Manhattan landlords were caught $4. In one of the illegal apartments, the ceilings were reported to be just $4.
