One resident reached out to CBS Sacramento for help, saying she and other seniors and residents with mobility issues are unable to get up and down the stairs to leave their homes.
Rowland says residents have gotten no communication about when the elevator will be fixed from property management.
"I just don't feel like anybody cares," Rowland said.
Rowland lives on the third floor. She is disabled and relies on a walker and scooter to get around. She estimates a few dozen of her neighbors are in the same boat, stranded, with no way of leaving their upstairs apartments.
Rowland is on a fixed income and has lived at the Hotel Woodland apartments for ten years, utilizing Section 8 housing vouchers. She is now having to rely on a friend to help bring her food and other necessities.
Aside from the loneliness, Rowland says day-after-day stuck inside has left her depressed and fearing the worst.
There was recently a change in property management for these apartments.
Any information about the management change has not been clearly updated online and CBS Sacramento has been unsuccessful in reaching either VPM Management or the previously listed property managers, CHOC Housing, by email or phone for comment.
"The elevator is in question is out of service awaiting parts delivery. The Hotel Woodland's property management company has staff on-site during business hours to help residents up and down the stairs and are also in the process of sourcing a 'stair chair.' The property management company is currently surveying residents and providing hotel rooms for those who are not ambulatory. While the City does not manage the historic Hotel Woodland property, we continue to work with the property management company and other community members to ensure the safety of all residents."
"I can't be up here another month or two. I can't," Rowland said.
We reached out on Monday to ask again. City officials responded and said the elevator is scheduled for repair next week.
"Somebody with influence has to get involved, because we're stuck," Rowland said. "I just want to be able to be treated like a human being that has rights, that deserves a safe place to live."
CBS Sacramento will update this story if we hear back from the apartment's management.
