Heavy smoke smell from 48th street and 43rd Avenue all the way down Roosevelt Avenue to 61st St. . Anyone know the cause?

Verizon is all over our neighborhood in Queens installing fiber. There are no subscribers in our building. Everyone uses Spectrum. Verizin is installing heavy dudy infrastructure in the building, drilling and installing metaal cable conduits and distribution boxes. Seems like overkill for a 16 unit building. I asked the Super, who just said they are doing an upgrade in the neighborhood. Why are they doing this if everyone uses Spectrum? Is this because landlines will be on the system?
