Is it illegal for the property to stop the elevator privately?

Legal analysis: when the property company stops the elevator due to water and power failure, it should make public in advance and fulfill the obligation of informing. Without the authorization of public utilities such as water supply, power supply and gas supply, owners or judicial administrative organs, property service enterprises shall not stop water supply, power supply and gas supply to exclusive parts or parts of the property. If water, electricity and elevators are illegally cut off, causing damage to the owner, the owner has the right to claim compensation.

Legal basis: Article 55 of the Property Management Regulations stipulates that when there are potential safety hazards in the property, which endanger the public interests and the legitimate rights and interests of others, the responsible person shall timely repair and maintain it, and the relevant owners shall cooperate.

If the responsible person fails to perform the maintenance obligation, it can be maintained by the property service enterprise with the consent of the owners' meeting, and the expenses shall be borne by the responsible person.
