Elevators at the high-rise broke in June, and residents were forced tp take the stairs again Thursday.

Kendra Baker, who lives on the eighth floor, has a 9-month-old puppy that has been going to the bathroom on puppy pads so that she didn't have to make the walk up and down the stairs.

While the elevators were up and running again late Thursday, residents said it's an ongoing problem and they're getting sick of dealing with the issue.

"This sign has been here for two months, and they just pulled it over in front of this elevator to make it seem like 'we're working on it,'" Baker said.
