The woman, identified by the New York Post as housekeeper Marites Fortaliza, 53, got stuck between the second and third floors on Friday, an FDNY spokesman said.

She is reportedly employed by conservative political donor Warren Stephens at his 65th St. building.

The woman was discovered around 10 a.m. Monday when the owners returned and called 911, the Post said.

The fire department said they received the call around 10:10 a.m. Monday and rushed to the scene and were able to force the doors open. Once they had the woman out, she was taken to New York – Presbyterian / Weill Cornell Medical Center for an evaluation.

"She was in good condition," the department said.

It was not clear if she had a phone with her at the time.

According to the city Department of Buildings, the townhouse had no violations for several years but had two violations for failing to maintain the elevator in 2008 and 1996.

The department issued an aggravated violation for failure to provide access to inspectors on Monday after they were denied access by someone in the home, the Post said.

An updated condition of the woman was not available.
