Nitpick: There are elevators which are fine to use in case of fire. They have protections against serving as a chimney and somehow ensure that the passengers have air to breathe.
You’re never supposed to use an elevator in the event of a fire.
It’s definitely an ADA violation, though.

You are correct ofc, but the law (where applicable) is not for tenants. It’s for the Fire Dept.

This is in the UK, so the ADA does not apply. I am new to the country, so I don’t know how disability laws work here.

I would assume the UK has better protections of disabled people than the US, but I’ve been surprised before.

You would think so. From what I am gathering, there are a multitude of reasons why this is illegal. Since from what I can tell, the majority of residents (including myself) are foreign-born, I’m guessing that has something to do with why nothing has happened.

If you want to find out more, you could try and contact the Citizens Advice Bureau - they may or may not be able to help directly, but if not then they would probably know who can.
