The U.S. Attorney's Office declined comment yesterday; no one from the FCC returned phone calls seeking comment.
Free Radio, which had illegally broadcast for three years out of the private residence on Bancroft Street, could also be heard on a legal Internet simulcast at www.pirate969.org.
The station was not streaming on the Internet yesterday afternoon.
The FCC has said it investigates underground stations if it receives enough complaints from commercial broadcasters or the public that the illegal signal is interfering with legitimate transmissions.
Operators of Free Radio, if convicted, could face a one-year prison sentence and a $10,000 fine for operating an unlicensed outlet.
