This elevator is more than just a wee bit slow.
A lift at the Woodside, LIRR and subway complex is constantly breaking down from damage caused by people peeing inside it, officials told the Daily News Monday.
It’s such a popular pit stop that Long Island Rail Road President Helena Williams called it a “vertical urinal.”
“The mechanics of the elevator are constantly being contaminated,” Williams said at an LIRR committee meeting.
Jason Laguer, 56, of Woodside, said he avoids the lift-turned-lavatory. “The elevator is always full of p—,” he said. “I take the stairs, it’s just nasty, man.”
