There was a 911 outage in the Bronx overnight Tuesday, the mayor’s office confirmed Wednesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The outage began at 3:13 a.m. and was resolved by 10:10 a.m.\u00a0<\/p>\n

During that time, the mayor’s office said there were 5,659 calls to 911, and about 1,700 of those were impacted.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“After accounting for alarm systems and duplicate calls, we believe up to 400 New Yorkers may have been unable to connect with a 911 call taker,” a spokesperson for the mayor’s office said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The problem was located at Public Safety Answering Center II (PSAC II) in the Bronx, which is overseen by the mayor’s office, not the NYPD.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We performed intensive overnight testing on the system,” a spokesperson said, adding the city is working “in close coordination with our technical providers to ensure there are no additional service impacts.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

There’s no immediate word on what caused the outage. The investigation into that is ongoing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
