Elevator outages in San Francisco

California's implied warranty of habitability (Civil Code §1941.1) and San Francisco's local rent and habitability ordinances together make elevator service a landlord responsibility in multi-story residential buildings. Tenants have repair-and-deduct and rent-withholding remedies when a landlord fails to maintain service. The state Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA) Elevator Unit handles elevator permits and inspections.

Transit coverage is anchored by BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit). The agency publishes live elevator status for every station with an accessible route at bart.gov/guide/accessibility/elevators. Outages at BART stations are added to the public record here the moment they appear on the agency feed. SFMTA's Muni Metro stations are also tracked where station elevator data is available.
