Six months of an unreliable elevator. Fixed in five weeks.
Daisy took ownership of the contractor relationship and stayed with it until the fault was found and fixed.
Nobody could say what was wrong.
The floor buttons would stop registering, then start working again on their own. A basement door lock was failing on the same system.
From February until Daisy took over in September, technicians came out, closed the call, and left. Each visit ended with the elevator working again, and no explanation of what had gone wrong.
How the fault finally got diagnosed
Pulled the service history
Daisy pulled the record and found a run of visits with no diagnosis behind any of them. That pattern usually means an intermittent fault, one that hides while the technician is in the building.
Escalated to the contractor's supervisor
Routine calls kept closing without a fix, so Daisy escalated past dispatch and asked for a cause. The contractor identified a failing cable feeding the floor buttons inside the elevator car. That's why the fault came and went, and why no single visit had ever held.
Got the manufacturer's part
An earlier repair had used a substitute part and it hadn't lasted. This one called for the manufacturer's own cable, which had to be ordered in. Daisy coordinated between the contractor and the manufacturer, stayed on the order, and kept the schedule moving until the part was in and full service was confirmed.
Kept the board and residents updated
Daisy updated the board at each stage of the repair, and told residents when the technician would be on site and where things stood, so nobody had to chase it. Once the contractor identified the cable, Daisy explained to the board what had failed and why it had been so hard to catch.
Root cause found. Elevator fixed.

"Took care of an issue plaguing the building since before Daisy started managing the building. The frequent updates on the state of the repair were great and exactly what we were hoping for when we switched."
"Things have been going pretty smoothly. There has been good follow-up on work items and even ones that are taking a little longer, we still get regular updates indicating that Daisy is following up."
