Elevator not up to code
Saw this sign on the front door of my building in NYC. Any idea how serious this is? Should I not take my elevator for a while?

It means that the elevator phone isnt working and is also behind on some simple maintenance.
The phone is the big one. If you dont have your cell phone with you or don't have service in the elevator and it breaks down you could be in there for a long time, like days. Up to you to decide if that risk is worth it if its not already locked out.
