What do you mean by quarterly service plan? Having the elevators serviced once per quarter ( 4 times a year)?

I have to research it but I think they are being serviced once per month on building which is now almost completely empty except a single tenant on the bottom floor with no use for the elevator.

If I can reduce it from 12 times a year to 4 times a year serviced by professionals, I would gladly take that savings until the building can be leased up again. The tenant who left is going to cost me almost a million dollars in lost rent that was under his obligation. I think he just transferred his business to a friend/business partner and they are operating under another companies name.

Anyway, realistically how often do you need to service an elevator which is not in use or used less than 50 times a year? In my house, it uses the steel cable not hydraulics, its once a year. I don't know about the commercial building which uses hydraulics and its 3 floors.
