On Friday, the Glendale City Attorney’s office dropped a criminal misdemeanor suit against property owner Elias Shokrian over the senior home’s elevator problems after a city inspector earlier this week found that both elevators were working. The other onsite elevator had been broken for about seven months, since October 2018, when the incident occurred. The city inspector this week saw “no signs up, no indications of weird movements,” Ligtenberg said. AdvertisementSeveral tenants of the senior home are suing Shokrian in a separate civil suit, alleging elder abuse, age discrimination and negligence. The elevator that had been broken since the previous October was fixed this past fall, about a year after going offline.
