Nearly 2,000 Brooklyn residents are still without power as crews have been working to fix the outage since Saturday. Neighbors in Park Slope spent a second night without heat after manhole fires erupted. Con Edison worked through Sunday night, attempting to restore power. Officials said melting snow mixed with road salt made contact with underground electrical equipment, leading to the outages.

Con Edison doesn't just keep New York City plugged in; a new study indicates it generates a significant positive economic impact in the form of jobs, contracts, and tax revenues for the city. The study conducted by HR&A Advisors, along with Con Edison, sought to quantify the utility giant's spending and other economic contributions in New York City and Westchester County including a big property tax bill. Con Edison provides power to 9 million people and 350,000 businesses across the city and Westchester.

Residents of a Bronx public housing complex say they smelled gas around the site of a partial building collapse in the hours and days leading up to the disaster that city officials are blaming on a boiler explosion. The explosion around 8 a.m. Wednesday toppled bricks and left a 20-story tear along the side of the building at 205 Alexander Ave., where a chimney once stood.

Viral footage shows the moment that commuters in New York City's famous Grand Central Terminal were plunged into darkness on Thursday night after a voltage drop cut power across parts of the iconic Manhattan hub. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) confirmed the blackout struck at around 8:30 p.m., dimming lights across portions of the building while leaving train services untouched. No train service was impacted, officials said, noting that Grand Central Madison remained fully operational.
