Six developments on the Upper East Side and East Harlem were impacted after 9 p.m. The Executive Vice President of Operations Support Services at NYCHA Keith Grossman told PIX11 News that starting on June 23, there were a number of voltage reductions. More than 50 NYCHA developments’ elevator services were impacted.
