Crazy dangerous freight elevator pit - Repost - Stairway to heaven

This is a repost from 2016, it is probably the most unique elevator environment I have ever seen.  If you want to see the original post it was from 5/15/2016

[Elevator pit looks wonderful, well lit - the hatch also has no doors]

[This way to the hot water heaters and building mechanicals]

[Old machine room - Machine room looks great]

[Elevator power is still on]

[This is what can come down on your head]

Since my visit to this building in 2016 I haven't seen anything quite like it.  As anyone in the industry can attest to, we see a lot of interesting things you would never think would or could be.  The wildest part of the building is that the owner blocked up the other access to the building mechanicals[which was from the outside], the only way to service any of the building mechanicals was through the elevator pit.  I was told, at one time, building security was an issue.
