Why is it helpful to ask neighbours how often lifts break down in the building

A lift that looks shiny doesn’t always mean it’s reliable. Residents know the truth: how often they’ve had to climb stairs, how long breakdowns usually last, whether maintenance is regular or only happens after complaints.

Asking, “Lift baar-baar kharab hota hai kya?” gives you insight into daily convenience, especially if you’ll live on higher floors or have elders in the family. A frequently failing lift can turn simple grocery runs into struggles.

It’s one of those details that doesn’t show up in listing photos but massively affects quality of life.
