Days after News 5 Investigator Jonathan Walsh reported on the out-of-service elevator at an apartment for elderly residents in Cleveland, we learned Tuesday that the elevator is back up and running.
On Friday, Feb. 9, we aired Walsh’s investigation on the broken elevator at Broadway Place Elderly Apartments, located in the 7000 block of Broadway Avenue in Cleveland.
One resident held back tears as she spoke with Walsh about how the one and only elevator for their building had been out of service for nearly a month.
We don’t just report the initial story—we follow through to its conclusion. Read and watch our previous reporting on this story below and see more stories that
we’ve followed through on here.
“I try to walk…how you can walk on the steps with a walker?” she told Walsh last week as she pointed to her walker.
In poor health, Olivia Thomas said because the elevator was down, she had to have EMS come out and help her.
