A reader recently asked about the large generator parked on Fifth Street between First Avenue and Second Avenue outside the 9th Precinct stationhouse.
According to a source familiar with the situation, the generator is helping provide power for the building's internet, phone and air-conditioning systems while crews work to address an electrical issue inside the stationhouse.
We're told portions of the building have been without normal power for roughly two weeks.
The source said technicians have been working on the problem daily, though a permanent fix has not yet been completed.
The generator, about the size of a horse trailer, emits a noticeable hum as it helps keep systems running at the stationhouse. It's expected to remain in place until the issue is resolved.
