NOTICE: HPN Elevator Renovation and Upgrade Project

CURRENT STATUS:

Renovation and Upgrade of Cars #1 and #2 is now complete and both have been returned to service

HPN’s contract with Otis Elevator remains on schedule and on budget. With two crews on-site since October all aspects of the planned renovation and upgrade of the initial two cars has proceeded as planned. HPN’s Project Manager Michael Blades (MBA) has inspected and signed off on these installations, all required local and state safety inspections have been passed, and interim certificates of occupancy have been issued.

The Otis implementation team has now taken Car #3 out of service as planned. Although #3 is not officially due to be completed until early April it appears at this time that this Car may be returned to service by mid-March.

IMPORTANT NOTE CONCERNING NEW CABS

We hope you will agree that the new elevator cab design and finishes are an attractive upgrade to HPN. In an effort to help maintain their appearance we would ask all owners to make sure that your contractors and furniture delivery employees arrange with the HPN office ahead of time to have the protective blankets installed in the cab. Owners are subject to a $500 fine plus the cost of repair if their contractor/vendor damages the cab.
