Story angles

• A Zillow for elevators — and the first public scoreboard for accessibility

  Renters have Zillow. Drivers have Carfax. Diners have Yelp. Until now, the millions of people who depend on elevators and escalators to leave their apartment, reach their subway platform, or navigate a hospital have had nothing — uptime and outage histories have lived in closed systems between manufacturers, service contractors, and building owners. Elevator Uptime opens the data: a searchable record of every verifiable outage at any tracked building across North America and the UK, sourced from regulatory filings, live transit feeds, and anonymous rider reports. Accessibility has usually been reported as an exception or a bottom-of-page compliance note; this dataset puts it on the scoreboard. The site doesn’t assign blame to landlords or contractors — it publishes the data, cites every source, and lets readers draw their own conclusions.

• A year of New York elevator outages, mapped, charted, and linkable

  The New York City dashboard shows every currently broken elevator and escalator at a tracked building, a month-by-month chart of when outages began, and the list of buildings with open issues. The data is stitched together from NYC DOB permit records, the MTA’s live status feed, and anonymous rider reports submitted through the site. Stories can hook into a specific borough, a specific line, or the trailing-twelve-month trend — and the page is the same URL your readers can click through to verify.

• Every tracked building gets a public scorecard — here’s a Bronx apartment building with ten open outages

  1580 Story Avenue, a Soundview residential building, has ten open elevator and escalator outages as of today. Its scorecard shows 30- and 90-day uptime, average time-to-fix, a weekly timeline of outages, the equipment inventory by type, and the service contractor on record — with a citation back to the underlying NYC DOB permit. This is the pattern every tracked building follows: tenants can hand it to a landlord, reporters can fact-check it.
