Charging in Burbank, CA

Tried to get a Level 2 charge today at 327 N. Pass Ave in Burbank, CA but was bummed to find that both ChargePoint chargers at this location were down. They should be working soon but probably best to call ChargePoint first before stopping by. The website showed them being functional. I called in to alert them. Looking forward to this location being up and running soon.
