History
By 1994, Matt Bluestone, Elisa Maza, Morgan Morgan, Phil Travanti, and Maria Chavez all worked at the 23rd Precinct (Officer Morgan was transferred there on October 25th). [1]
On the night of October 25, 1996, the Hunters followed Goliath back to the Clock Tower and blew it up, damaging the entire Civic Center complex including the 23rd Precinct below. [2] Hunter Jon Canmore, undercover as reporter Jon Carter, later highlighted the footage of the explosion and the Manhattan Clan's escape from the wreckage on WVRN. Soon after, it became the headquarters of the Gargoyle Taskforce, headed by Matt Bluestone, advised by Margot Yale. Aside from the GTF, it presumably sees regular Manhattan police work. After months of repairing, the building officially reopened on the evening of May 15, 1997. ("Hunter's Moon" Part Two, "Hunter's Moon" Part Three, "Invitation Only", "Tale Old as Time")

Production Background
Michael Reaves is likely the writer to have given the police precinct its number. [3] Greg Weisman has written that there was an effort to portray the work at the 23rd Precinct realistically. For example, Elisa Maza's investigations might take her beyond the precinct's boundaries, but she only began investigating crimes that occured within those boundaries. [4]
Real World Background
Coincidentally, while the show was on the air, the actual 23rd Precinct building in New York City had (as recently as 2007) a facade of a castle. [5] Currently, the building now houses the Traffic Control Division for the NYPD. [6]
References in Other Media
In Greg Weisman's The Spectacular Spider-Men, New York Police Detective Shari Sebbens works at the 23rd Precinct. ("The Pitch")
