And that is almost certainly because these residents respect
the building and its facilities, unlike joe public on his
mobility scooter who couldn't give a ****, while muttering
'they should do something about it'.

I live in a block where we respect and *need* the lift

we also have an on-site warden who can/does call out the repair company
immediately when it goes wrong

doesn't stop it being unavailable for a week at a time when they need

Usually caused by the false economy of having a 3rd party service
contract, "because its cheaper than having a contract with insert lift
manufacturer here".

The block where I had a flat, deliberately chose to go with Otis on the
basis that the enhanced spares availability was worth the the extra expense.

Any idea of whether or not it was worth it ?
