Response Time

Street lights are maintained by different contractors in each borough. Unless the contractor determines that the street light outage is due to a long-term construction issue or a ConEd power issue, repairs should be performed within 30 days.

Orange Indicators

Orange indicators over lamp posts designate the location or intersection with fire or police alarm call boxes.

Stop Tag Information

Stop tag numbers are located on DOT’s street lighting work order form. They indicate a stoppage in electricity going into the street light pole. DOT notifies Con Edison about electrical outages.

• From November 1 to April 30, Con Edison is required to repair 90% of street lights with no electric current within 90 days.
• From May 1 to October 31, Con Edison is required to repair 80% of street lights with no electric current within 45 days.

In no case will any street light repair under Con Edison's responsibility take longer than 180 days to complete.

Con Edison is responsible for correcting stop tags. To follow up on a street light work order with a stop tag number, call Con Edison and select the electrical emergency option.
