Will the elevator stop when there is a power outage in the community? Is the property responsible?

When there is power failure in the community, the elevator may stop, depending on whether the elevator is equipped with power supply or standby generator. If the elevator can't operate normally due to power failure in the community, the property management company may have to bear certain responsibilities.

According to the relevant laws and regulations, the property management company has the responsibility to ensure the normal operation of public facilities such as elevators, water supply and power supply in the community. In case of power failure, the property management company shall notify the owner in advance and take necessary measures to ensure the safety of the elevator. If the property management company fails to notify the owner in advance or there are other faults, resulting in the loss of the owner in the elevator outage, the property management company may need to bear corresponding responsibilities.

Therefore, if the elevator fails to operate normally due to power failure in the residential area, it is suggested that the owner contact the property company first to understand the situation and ask the property company to take corresponding measures to solve the problem. If the property management company is at fault, the owners can safeguard their rights and interests through legal channels.
