Some civilized countries have a process whereby partial rent can be legally withheld/deducted, incentivising them to fix it quickly. Less civilized countries require you to engage a lawyer and risk having your rental contract terminated unilaterally.
In my state (tenant laws are good here) we could withhold rent (ideally in a seperate bank account) until key things are fixed like an elevator.
Get a lawyer and organize rent withholding for the entire building. That’ll get them to fix the elevator right quick.

Racist countries (like Britain can very much be unfortunately) also don’t give a shit what a building full of immigrants want.
