I run a commercial warehouse building in New York City.
There is a sole tenant that rents the entire 9 story building.
That tenant is responsible for maintaining the 3 freight elevators.
The tenant has a maintenance contract with a licensed elevator contractor.
There are violations on the elevators because the tenant is in arrears to the elevator contractor.
The owners of the building want to get the violations off the books so they are getting their own different elevator contractor to do the work.
My question is- If there is already an elevator contractor with a maintenance contract on the elevators who is owed money for maintenance, can a second contractor come in and do work on those elevators?
