Sometimes it’s better to take the stairs! Residents at a Queens rental complex say elevators have been a scary, noisy mess for a decade — with locals trapped inside three times just last month. The pair of rent-stabilized, affordable buildings at Hunter’s Point South in Long Island City have just nine breakdown-prone elevators for nearly 1,000 apartments — sometimes with no air conditioning or a working intercom, locals claimed. 4 Matt Aaron, the head of the tenant association, stands in one of the Hunter’s Point South building elevators.
