I was the one that found the sign, and it's been broken for a year... engineer said it wasn't, and they were "waiting on parts." The elevator being fixed isn't decided by the hotel, but the rooftop bar manager. They sadly changed engineers, so I am no longer friends with the one currently working there. I hope they eventually fix it..

Mid-2019 is when they changed the elevator motor. It used to be submersible, but now the elevator motor is an MEI DT-221 tall power unit.
@QEElevators3 ай бұрын
@lijiang2743 I wonder what the old power unit looked like. Also the submersible was only that loud because it was low on oil and struggling. In videos where it wasn't it was alot quieter.

It kept getting low on oil, probably damaging it and the power unit wasnt what was leaking. Might’ve been a pipe or gasket or even the packing seal. I am a Atlanta local so I filmed this thing around every month and it’s been low for 3 months at this point… With the new motor
