Tenants of an eight-story building in Vélizy-Villacoublay have complained of recurring breakdowns for five years. The last one happened during the holidays.

Residents had to cope without it throughout the holiday period. “I invited my 80-year-old father for the holidays, he didn’t leave the apartment. Impossible for him to go up or down seven floors without an elevator,” confides a resident,. Fatalist, she expects another breakdown in the hours or days to come.
