The power went out at the Big Six apartment complex in Woodside last night leaving thousands in the dark, according to a spokesperson at the City Office of Emergency Management.

The high-rise apartment complex, located at 60-10 Queens Blvd., went dark just after 5 p.m. and the power was not fully restored until 2:40 a.m. today. Officials have not stated why the power went down but did note that the development has its own generator and is not part of the Con Edison power grid.

The FDNY said that at least one elevator was stuck as a result of the blackout. WABC-TV reported that three residents were rescued from stalled elevators.

The heat and water also went out, according to reports, which have now been restored.

The OEM spokesman said that MTA buses were brought in last night as a precaution, just in case people needed to be relocated elsewhere. They were not needed.

OEM also brought emergency light towers to the campus after sundown.

There is so much corruption in this building complex. There’s a super who is sleeping with a tenant and giving her a free room to rent, not to mention several other underhanded deeds. But they continue to get away with it since there are no independent investigations.

Maybe Amazon’s fault. As a Trumptard I must always include Amazon in all of my posts.

Twenty people indicted in Queens-based $4.6M vehicle theft ring after three-year probe: DA

Twenty individuals were indicted and variously charged in a wide-ranging scheme to steal cars in Queens, throughout New York City and its suburbs, following a three-year investigation by the Queens District Attorney’s Office, the NYPD, and the New York State Police dubbed “Operation Hellcat,” into the criminal enterprise based in Queens.

Some of the vehicles were stolen from owners’ driveways, some with the keys or key fobs inside. The stolen vehicles were often sold through advertisements on social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram. The defendants are charged in nine separate indictments for a total of 373 counts, Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz announced on Thursday.
