(CNN) A woman spent the weekend trapped in an elevator in her employers' home in New York, according to police.

On Friday, Marites Fortaliza, 53, was cleaning floor by floor in the five-story private townhouse when she got stuck in the elevator between the second and third floor, according to a law enforcement official.

She was rescued Monday morning after a delivery man came to the house and was concerned when no one answered the door. The homeowners were away for the weekend, the law enforcement official said.

He called one of the homeowner's relatives and they called 911 shortly after 10 a.m., the official said.

Firefighters were able to force the elevator door open with tools, New York Fire Department spokesman Chris Bark said.
