An elevator outage in Mount Vernon has some elderly and disabled residents trapped inside their apartments.

It's been more than a month since the elevator broke at 55 Pennsylvania Ave.

It was supposed to be fixed by Thursday, but the building's superintendent says a part that's being custom-made isn't ready. It will push the repair back by another week.

A Mount Vernon spokesperson says the Building Department is aware of the issue, and has put management on notice.

The elevator is expected to be repaired by June 4.
