I cannot tell you how much it upsets me that people think that it's okay to just let it slide because only 1 or 2 people use the handicapped facilities. One day I'm going to need to use these things and I'm not going to have the wearwithall to follow up etc on it. Like I said, I'm hoping that there is someone else out there like me making sure that these things operate.
There was an elevator that was out for 2-3 weeks because they had to wait for a part. I complained about it all the time because someone had to bring it to the attention to the managers that it's unacceptable for that length of time. Any other building in Manhattan.. it would have been fixed within a few days maximum.
Here in NYC companies like Verizon get fined for not having working pay phones, but there is no penalty to buildings or owners who have ADA compliant hardware but it's not maintained and no longer working.
okay, now i'll admit that I do use the handicapped stalls because well the space...

I have yet to ever encounter me inconveniencing someone because I was using it.
