UPDATE, 12:45 p.m. The elevator in Building 244 is working again. Richmond elevator is still on site.
When I have more details on what happened, I will post them here.
As of 10 a.m. October 27, 2026:
The elevator in Building 244 is down again. A Richmond Elevator technician is onsite performing diagnostics and repair. At this time there is no ETA on when the elevator will be in service again.
I will update this post as more information comes in.
UPDATE, 6:40 p.m.: The elevator is now working again. The issue was the system shutting down due to the elevator door being held open too long on the second floor. Don't do this, please!
UPDATE, 6:10 p.m. The Richmond Elevator tech is now onsite.
UPDATE, 4:50 p.m. After two calls made and no callback from Richmond Elevator, Jeff called a third time and discovered, for reasons unexplained, that the after hours dispatch had not contacted Richmond Elevator. After the third call, Jeff did finally hear back from Richmond Elevator and a tech is actually being sent. They wanted to come Monday morning but Jeff told them to come tonight (Sunday).
Unfortunately this means it will be a few more hours before the elevator is working again.
Thanks for your patience!
As of 2:25 p.m. today (Sunday, October 25, 2026) I can report the following:
I don’t know why they haven’t arrived yet. My best guess is they have multiple calls and may be working through them in order. Our call was designated “urgent” due to multiple people in the building with accessibility issues.
I’ll update when the elevator is working again.
Council is aware of access issues affecting Building 244 for mail delivery. The mail carrier key is working with Building 240 and 248, but for some reason it has stopped working this past week in Building 244.
While the cause of the issue is investigated, please help out the mail carrier by letting her into the Building 244 lobby to deliver the mail. Mail delivery usually happens between 12–1 p.m. Monday through Friday.
The two signs that had gone crooked in separate incidents along the left side of the entrance to Copperstone have been straightened and secured by the Council President.
Before:
After:
Omicron started a bit late, but finished installing the new enterphones in all three buildings right on schedule.
A few items to note:
I’m assuming Omicron will provide more information on the operation of the units. I will post any new information if I get it.
UPDATE: The 240 building enterphone replacement is complete, see photo below.
The previously announced schedule for Enterphone replacement was:
However, Omicron was not onsite yesterday. I can confirm the 240 building Enterphone is being replaced as I type this, so they appear to be one day behind schedule. I’m not sure how this will affect Buildings 244 and 248.
I’ll update this post if I get more information.
NOTE: Fobs will continue to work normally while the Enterphone is being replaced, so entering a building will work as normal for residents. Each Enterphone is estimated to be out of service for about eight hours while being replaced.
