Power Restorations Rolling Through Neighborhood


by on Oct 31st, 2012

We’re getting a lot of messages about restored power throughout the neighborhood. We’ve heard it from people in Manhattan Beach and Brighton Beach, as well as those living around Avenue Z, Avenue Y, East 7th Street, East 13th Street and elsewhere.

Let us know in the comments if your power is still on or off so we can get a better sense of how things are progressing.

    Haring St. between Vorhees and Z has two large trees down, don’t think I’ll be seeing my power back on for days.

      Is your location ( Haring Str. between Voorhies and Z) close to Voorhies and Ocean Avenue intersection?

      • http://www.facebook.com/mayya.may.3 Mayya May

        It’s about 11 blocks away. Right past the Nostrand Intersection.
        The next block, Brown between Z and Voorhies has nothing either..

        • BklynBridge

          Thx Mayya May. I hope your power comes back on soon. I have family on Brown Street between Voorhies and ShorePkwy. Have you heard anything as to when you might be back on the grid?

  • JZ

    19th & Voorhies, still no power.

  • ik

    E 12 on, finally..

    • K

      E 12th and what cross street, please

      • Alexa

        Not the Bel Air (2775 East 12) , they are still down. Called con-ed, spoke to a human, was informed that there has been a ticket put in and they will be dispatching people as early as tomorrow. Building super informed that they have hired an electrician to come tomorrow.

        • LLL

          Hi is Bel Air the same management as Arcadia at 3232 Shore Parkway? I am trying to find out if there is electrical power and gas at that building.

          • Rachel

            both of them same management. You can try to send email to Kings and Queens management

          • LLL

            Thanks Rachel. Good idea to email management. I tried calling but got no answer.

    Ave z has power but warebasse is still without

  • Need power back

    E17 between Ave. Y and Z still don’t have power. ConEd said that they were giving priority to higher density areas- that’s why Brighton and buildings on SheepsheadBay will get power much quicker than condos.

  • MB

    They turned power on in Manhattan Beach without a warning, and some of the wires started burning on the electric poles. Police cars were driving around asking people to leave their homes while they got things sorted out.

    • BrooklynBus

      There were also a number of underground electrical fires and all entrances were closed to Manhattan Beach for a short time between around 5:30 and 6:PM.

      • BklynBridge

        Any fires by Amherst?

  • LennyM

    No power on V and 15th. Power reports are good. Not to create false hopes but this means they will slowly start to turn power to more and more areas little by little to prevent an overload of the grid (imagine the drain of a few tens of thousand fridges powering up at once). If so you’ll see new reports every 30-90 minutes. Please follow con eds advice and unplug unnecessary appliances to prevent a system overload.

    • LennyM

      So no clue if power will be restored by tomorrow but if you’re going to visit one of the many friendly businesses allowing people to charge their phones please bring a power strip/surge protector so you don’t hog the outlet and others can also charge as well, assuming the business is fine with that.

    • LennyM

      Power restored on E 15 and V.

    • http://www.facebook.com/anna.maltseva8 Anna Maltseva

      Lenny, are you a resident at 15th and V (M&R building)? I am just wondering if the management is as stingy with heat in that building as they are in ours.

  • ML

    There is at least one fire right now around Coney Island Avenue and Neptune, people are saying it started when the power came back on.

  • Anon

    No power @e16th btwn Z and sheepshead bay rd.

  • Tashkoze

    No power still in Warbasse huh? Mgmt has been an utter disgrace, MIA. They ahve there own power plant so listening to when con ed will turn back power on is useless for those buildings.

    • http://twitter.com/arleneherring arleneherring

      I think National Grid is responsible for Warbasse, not sure how that works. Plus this was Zone A, & people should’ve left but didn’t. It maybe has to be inspected for safety.

    • Mxx

      Rumors are, and these are just rumors since like you said Warbasse management is MIA, salt water got into boilers and totally destroyed them. Supposedly it will take WEEKS to buy, deliver and install a new boiler. Until then no power or water.
      At least I see cleanup crews cutting up and shredding fallen trees and other crews are rebuilding mangled scaffolding under each building.
      But security and management are MIA…This is 4th day and no official announcements that I’m aware of.

      The Emmons one, I don’t believe has opened yet, but at the rate some of us in our fifties and sixties are going lately, they might be getting some young customers! Oh, and their front facade looks like a “Mezzuzah” to me! Do you think they will be marketing to a specific clientele?! Doesn’t everyone, who lives long enough, eventually get old and frail?!

    Margaret Court (E13 between Aves Y and Z) has power, although not all of the outlets work (probably due to the flooding). Any ideas on how safe it is to use if the basement is still flooded?

    My parents are on Kimball between Quentin & P – no power. I actually took a bus to see them today because they have Fios and because they have no power, they have no phone (no cell service either). On the bus ride down, I noticed that the areas with power stopped at Flatbush & Flatlands. So I think most of Marine Park is still without power.

      • Old Sheepshead Hand

        Beverly Hills got power back last night as did the building on the corner of Homecrest and Shore/Voorhies. No heat or hot water as of last night but may have changed this morning. If Bel Air has power, then Hollywood should too.

    Hi and hope you are all safe. What is the current situation in Manhattan Beach? is the power back? I understand there were several electrical fires, lots of police and fire engines last night…..is this still the case? Please update. Ned – you and your team are angels! I live so far away, and your reportings have been so helpful to me to understand what you are all going through. I finally got word from my family last night, but then we lost the skype connection and haven’t been able to reconnect. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • theUrbanographer

      We have some not all power back at my parents’ house in Manhattan Beach since around 4 PM yesterday. Landlines are still down I think. My father’s cell service through AT&T is working. Tmobile smartphone service flickers. Verizon service wasn’t working there yesterday. EML might know more.

      • LennyM

        Both AT&T and Tmobile have opened their networks to each others’ customers.

    As of 10 30 PM last night all of Emmons Bay as well as Sheepshead Bay Rd was pitch black. Ave Y and Ocean Ave going down to Emmons was without power as well.

    • http://www.sheepsheadbites.com/ Ned Berke

      I don’t think any of the coffee shops on Sheepshead Bay Rd will be open soon. My best suggestion is to a pack up and head to Avenue U, which appears to be the nearest commercial strip with power (in fact, totally unharmed). There are places like Dunkin’ Donuts, which should have wifi, though I’ve never actually used it.

    • Kathy

      They already asked Con Ed for help but they said that they can only help us when they done with their own work…doesn’t sound promising

      • MyBrooklyn

        @ Kathy do you have any updates regarding Warbasse electricity coming back…thank you

        • Kathy

          2 Jess / Unfortunately no … since there is no management and no announcements from them…People that I asked on the street saying from couple of days to month. Also I heard that because they cant fix our generators National Guard will come and evacuate our bldng. Our mngmnt was trying to safe some money installing some cheap ass generators instead of dealing with ConED.
          Let me know if u hear something

          • Kathy

            Reply was to MyBrooklyn

          • Mxx

            @675842e39170b093c6693ec076bbf28f:disqus All this information is WRONG! National Guard IS NOT COMING! BUILDINGS ARE NOT EVACUATED! YOU SPREADING FUD!

            GENERATORS in the power plant are working perfectly fine.
            The problem is with transformers in each building getting flooded. Transformers convert power from 600V DC that power plant or ConEd provides into 120V AC in your wall outlet. ConEd is useless without those transformers working.

          • Kathy

            Mxx That’s why I specifically wrote that I HEARD IT ALL …

          • Kathy

            But thanks 4 clearing it up

          • MyBrooklyn

            Max….thank you for your technical explanation regarding warbasse power plant..makes perfect sense. Why keep transformers in the basement…also do you know if warbasse will be out of power for more then 1 week. thank you

          • Mxx

            All/most buildings keep transformers there. Where else would they keep them? If power is out you don’t want to drag heavy parts to the roof, nor will you be able to connect any external equipment that could be rolled in.
            Security guard said that supposedly transformers are dry and they are waiting for the city to do all the necessary testing and certification. Yet he also said that they are waiting on some parts that are coming from Connecticut. I don’t know exactly how his statements connect… That was kinda confusing.
            If all they are waiting for are tests, then it could be a couple more days, otherwise I don’t know.
            I imagine that they can/will turn on each building independently, don’t need to wait for all 5 to be ready.

      • http://twitter.com/thejessgill Jess Gill

        Thanks, Kathy. It looks like my family was indeed evacuated today, and they’ve since relocated to NJ. It seems as though Warbasse does not expect to obtain power back for a few weeks at the least.

    Thank you to the hosts of this blog! It’s been a very helpful link through the ordeal.

    I’ve been trying to keep tabs on my elderly mother on Haring Street betw. Z & Voorhees. Her cell service is finally back now but still no power.

    She told me that it reminded her how much she enjoyed camping! Tough lady.

    I worry about whether the furnaces in all the flooded basements will be water damaged making everybody live for days more in the cold, even after power is back.

    • Ohad R

      I am also far away from my elderly mother and would like to know who to contact about getting the furnaces working as quickly as possible for the elderly. Any phone numbers? other suggestions? Thank you again!

      • ishast

        I’ve seen a few folks buy portable radiators. It’s an excellent alternative as long as you have power.

    • ishast

      I live on the same block. If you need someone to check on her I can do so tomorrow (11/2/12). My email is ishast@yahoo.com.

  • RayL

    Just spoke to Con Ed about 2717-2719 East 28th Street, between Voorhees & Shore Pkwy. Repair crews were dispatched and the ESTIMATE time of restoration is 7pm. The official said the accuracy of the estimate on a scale of 1-10 was realistically a “6″. But the fact that there is a 7pm time is a very good sign. BTW he was extremely polite and kind.

  • VladP

    Batchelder St. between Voorhees and Z has no power yet.

  • Mxx

    Rumors are, and these are just rumors since Warbasse management is MIA, salt water got into boilers and totally destroyed them. Supposedly it will take WEEKS to buy, deliver and install a new boiler. Until then no power or water. Perhaps they can work something out to temporary connect to ConEd’s power… :/
    At least I see cleanup crews cutting up and shredding fallen trees and other crews are rebuilding mangled scaffolding under each building.
    But security and management are MIA…This is 4th day and no official announcements that I’m aware of.

    • MyBrooklyn

      you are absolutely right…Warbasse should remove power plant that also cost
      a lot more to maintain it and let Con Edison provide direct power to Warbasse

      • Kathy

        Everybody around us already have lights … Did u hear anything new? Did our mngmt showed up or we shouldnt expect them any time soon?

      Power is back on over here.

  • Knicksmets

    We live @ 2800 Coyle St. Between Emmons & Shore Pkwy. We have no power, but running cold water and flushing toilets right now. Our boiler room was pumped out today and we have areas of our underground garage concrete flooring which have split and risen after taking on about 7 ft. Of water. In addition, our lobby and first floor apts., laundry room, etc. filled with 5 ft. Of water. All of the water has receded, leaving behind mud everywhere. Rumors are floating that as a result of suffering this type of damage, that ConEd would first have to inspect the building before restoring our power. We’ve heard this process could take as long as 2-3 weeks at best.

    Ned, can you or anyone else substantiate this information, which would be greatly appreciated. By the way we know that Assemblyman Cymbrowitz wouldn’t the powers that be forget Sheepshead Bay.

    • Madamemad
