Question
One of the tenants in our building is a widow, and one of her married sons comes to visit her every day. One day he got stuck in the elevator, became very frightened, and called the fire department. When they arrived, they freed him, and the fire department charged us, the tenants and the building committee, a fee of 425 shekels.
Who is supposed to pay this?

Answer
Shalom u’vracha
The building committee must pay the rescue expenses, since it resulted from a malfunction in the elevator.
[In places where they wish to use a different rescuer in order to save on the fee, it is necessary to post clearly in the elevator whom to contact].
