When lifts are abandoned the car is taken to to the bottom of the shaft, propped from underneath, then the cable is cut to engage the safety brakes & make sure it doesn't move.
I'm guessing that this is done to stop the possibility of the cable snapping years later sending the lift crashing to the bottom of the shaft, the safety system might have seized up in that time.

No, the light is from the sun beaming through the elevator doors.

I once worked there and this looks like bldg. 93 . however if it is then the Car can't be all the way to the top as Bldg 93 had many more floors. However for the last 15 years or so that the Bldg. was in operation only the first 5 floors could be used. This was because it was thought to be unsafe as the building was sinking little by little.
