Power Failure

A battery powered portable radio should be available in your offices for information and updates on any extensive power failure.

Typically, should a power failure occur, it would affect either an isolated area of the building or some larger portion of the Midtown area.  In the event of an electrical failure, the following guidelines should be observed:
  • Contact the Building Management Office by calling 212-826-0894.
  • Open draperies and raise blinds to let in outside light.  If there is adequate lighting from windows, continue performing assignments as best as possible.
  • If you are instructed to evacuate, lock all areas.
  • Do not congregate in lobby areas or in the street.
  • If you are trapped in an elevator during a power failure, wait for assistance. Your elevators will cease operation but WILL NOT FALL.  DO NOT PANIC.
The Building Management Office will attempt to advise you regarding the length and cause of the power failure as soon as possible.
