My guess is that something about the way the building is wired isn't up to code and he doesn't want CON Ed coming in to take readings and start service for tenants. I had a landlord who did some pretty shady electrical shenanigans.

Like gas for instance.
Doing illegal building stuff doesn't seem like a huge deal until something goes catastrophically wrong, like that building on the corner of 2nd avenue and E 7th street in the Village.
BOOM, no more building, as well as three others destroyed, and two people dead because the owners/landlords were doing shady stuff with the gas line.

ConEd is required by law to investigate possible shared meters like this and take steps to correct it.
