Thank first responders

Dalessio apt hasn’t had elevator for a long time and there isn’t enough man power to get us out! Many people are in wheelchairs and are scared t o death! Our manager is trying her best but of course the slum lord gets Medicare Medicaid so these slum lords don’t care. It’s time the council n mayor stepped up! I know they’ve been contacted. Nothing done. Come on now this is very serious!
