Thursday's Scheduled Power Outage in 122: What You Need to Know

Per yesterday's post, at 10am Thursday, March 6th, 122's building electricity will be taken off-line for approximately five minutes so that old fuses can be replaced.

Power to apartments will not be affected.

Many of the bulding's systems will be affected, including the following:

  • elevators
  • lobby/hallway/stairwell lighting
  • water pumps
  • boiler (heating/hot water)
  • laundry facilities
  • electromagnetic door locks (swiper entry) on external doors

Since the outage will be for such a short time, residents should not notice any difference in heating and hot water.

The lobby and hallways will be dark; stairwells will be unlocked and lit with emergency lighting.

The keycard swipers will be offline, and all three entrances will remain unlocked. Additional staff will be available to maintain security.

Elevators will be brought to the lobby approximately 10 minutes prior to the outage, where they will remain until power is restored.

Residents will be asked not to begin washing/drying any laundry after 8am so the laundry room may be closed at 9:30am. The laundry room will be reopened approximately an hour after the outage.
