Nothing dates a building more than an old elevator. Not only is an old elevator unappealing, but it can a injury or liability waiting to happen. People can get stuck over night, trip because of uneven leveling, or get hit by a door which uses old detection techniques. Older elevator systems often work with less of a safety threshold, and are permitted under old regulations and codes.
ADA and California State laws have changed considerably over the last ten years. It is important that you consider modernizing your elevator to bring your system into compliance and provide a higher level of safety. Your current elevator might be "grandfathered" under old codes, but this does not clear you from the ever percent ADA lawsuit or injury.
