Considering how cheap those people are I'm pretty sure they are going to keep the old metal cage and only remove the door to put in a new standard elevator cage with doors. Otherwise they'd have to pay for a new stair rail as well and I just can't see that in the future. They even left the old wooden meter board in place and will probablly only install a new breaker panel to avoid messing around with meter wiring (which would force them to upgrade several things because new PoCo codes apply)...
Most tenants are pretty sad... except for one family... "Thanks heaven! Finally that old stuff is gone! Hope they'll put in something decent!"
I have to admit I was close to physically attacking that guy... it hasn't been the first fight with that particular family.
