Though no idea if it was there in previous seasons or other appearances of said office.

I looked around, and some people suggest it's a reference to the EMP blackouts in multiple cities done by the Watchdogs in the 'AoS' episode "Uprising". Said blackout in New York also affected Radcliffe, Fitz and Aida when they tried to "reboot" May's brain to cure her condition of being touched by the ghosts. I thought Simmons, Radcliffe and AIDA were in DC or LA? That show does a really bad job of placing locations. Especially in the Agents of HYDRA arc. Daisy and Simmons somehow wake up in DC (because of the Triskelion), but manage to get to the Playground (which is implied to be in the Southwest). Radcliffe's apartment was in New York. The Playground is implied to be somewhere in the DC area. There were blackouts in major cities all over the world, so it could be a reference to that. Or it's a reference to another blackout. Could anyone make out a date on the headline? It was in the background (along with the headline on the Attack on New York with the crashed Leviathan), so apart from the headline being in bold the rest would probably just be lines or random gibberish as per most props. And if it was a blackout with just a power outage in New York, I wouldn't think it would be that newsworthy, unless it also affected all electronic devices.

I like to think that if it is a reference to 'AoS', then the two shows have gone full-circle with referencing each other (not just with Dogs of Hell, but also 'AoS' making a reference to stuff going down in Hell's Kitchen in a news reel, while it was on the topic of the Watchdogs), much like with what 'Luke Cage' and 'Cloak & Dagger' did.
