The city's Department of Housing Preservation and Development posted two emergency demolition awards this week, and the same contractor won both. State Contracting Corp of NY was awarded the immediate emergency demolition at 794 East 160th Street in the Bronx for $628,186, and separately the immediate emergency demolition at 927 Grand Street in Brooklyn for $593,675 — a combined $1,221,861 across the two jobs, both posted to City Record Online under HPD's emergency contracting authority.
Neither record lists a bidder count or competing numbers, which is standard for HPD's emergency demolition track — these jobs move fast, often with a short list of pre-qualified emergency contractors rather than a full open bid cycle, because 'immediate emergency' means a structure has been deemed unsafe enough that it can't wait for a standard procurement timeline.
What's notable is the same firm landing both awards in the same posting window. That's either a sign State Contracting Corp of NY sits near the top of HPD's emergency-demolition roster, or simply that the rotation lined up that way this cycle — the record doesn't say which, and we're not guessing.
For demolition and remediation subs chasing HPD emergency work, the takeaway is less about these two addresses and more about the pipeline they represent: HPD runs a steady drumbeat of immediate emergency demolitions across the boroughs, and getting onto that pre-qualified list is the real prerequisite — not winning a single bid room. Anyone looking to break in should be asking HPD about its emergency contractor registration now, not waiting for the next posting.
