"The City of Buffalo Department Permit and Inspection Services conducted a review of the structure, noticed a safety issue with the electrical system, and called in National Grid. National Grid independently advised BURA of imminent danger and required that the electricity be disconnected.
I wonder the issue could be to warrant this.
