Elevator repaired at Henrico senior apartment complex after months of struggle for residents

The only elevator at Parham Park Place Apartments in Henrico is back in service after being out for months, forcing some senior residents to crawl up the stairs and cancel medical appointments.

CBS 6 first reported on the issue in March, when residents said the elevator had not been working for about two months. At the time, management said they were working diligently to make repairs but did not have an exact timeline for when it would be fixed.

Nearly two months later, CBS 6 learned the building's owner, Project Homes, sold the property. On Monday, Project Homes CEO Lee Householder said the elevator was repaired just before the sale.

"It was pending an inspection, but it needed to work for a few days before it could be cleared," Householder said.
