The 2025 NFL shooting caused filming new elevators to slow down to decrease suspicion of wrongdoings, which as elevator enthusiasts is not condoned.
All elevators seen here are traction elevators. Traction elevators consist of the machine room located above the top floor of a building and rely on various gears and other equipment to make the elevator move.
Red = Bronx
Green = Manhattan
Fuchsia = Queens
Brown = Brooklyn
This page and the Buildings page will be updated when new residential elevators get recorded with granted permission.
