this con Ed fault right? Charging top dollar but no maintenance
That wood is old. The one on 32nd between mermaid and Neptune is next
Damn that’s wild. I feel bad for people who going to come out to their car and see this.
Hhmm. Wow! What a mess! I have seen poles leaning like they are about to topple over. It's a combination of rain, winds and age. Lucky thing thst nobody was inside of those cars. They could gave been crushed or electrocuted. The metal on the cars act as conductors. Call 311 if you see any poles that look like they are going to fall over in your neighborhood. Better safe then sorry. 👀
