Tenants living at 340 Alexander Ave. have been dealing with electrical issues within the common spaces of the building. <\/p>\n
Lights in the hallways and staircases of various floors were completely off or partially functioning when News 12 went to the building on Tuesday. <\/p>\n
Amanda Moreno said the lights were off in various hallways and staircases for a week before she reached out to News 12.<\/p>\n
Moreno turned on her Christmas lights in the hallway to help her and neighbors see during the outage. <\/p>\n
“The staircase was out in the whole building, the hallways were out on a whole building and there was literally no lights,” said Moreno. <\/p>\n
NYCHA released a statement to us about the issue, stating in part: <\/p>\n
“NYCHA staff responded to an electrical outage affecting some public space lights at 340 Alexander Avenue over the weekend. Due to the complexity of the work required, a temporary repair was made to restore lighting, and NYCHA electricians are currently on-site to make the necessary permanent repairs”<\/p>\n
Moreno fears that worse could happen if the lights aren’t fully repaired soon. <\/p>\n
“It’s dangerous for all tenants that live in a building and somebody can get robbed or anything can happen, so NYCHA needs to make this a priority,” shared Moreno.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tenants living at 340 Alexander Ave. have been dealing with electrical issues within the common spaces of the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":137166,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[128,9,24,63,129,131,130],"class_list":{"0":"post-137165","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-the-bronx","8":"tag-bronx","9":"tag-new-york","10":"tag-new-york-city","11":"tag-nyc","12":"tag-the-bronx","13":"tag-the-bronx-headlines","14":"tag-the-bronx-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137165","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=137165"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137165\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/137166"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=137165"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=137165"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=137165"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
