DOB logged 100 new complaints across the five boroughs on September 14 and 15, per DOB Complaints Received records — routine volume, not a spike, and each entry is an unverified complaint, not a confirmed violation.

Elevator complaints (category 6M) came in at several addresses, including 225 West 123rd Street in Manhattan, 2960 West 29th Street in Brooklyn, and 538 Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn, per DOB records. An open elevator complaint means an inspection has been requested, not that a violation has been found.

Illegal-conversion and general construction complaints (categories 23, 91, and 81) were filed at addresses including 40 Thompson Street in Manhattan, 301 Washington Avenue in Brooklyn, 25 Waverly Avenue in Brooklyn, and 789 St. Marks Avenue in Brooklyn, per DOB records.

A handful of complaints closed same-day with inspection: 35-13 42nd Street in Queens closed with disposition code L1, 98-10 63rd Road in Queens closed with disposition code A1, 677 Sterling Place in Brooklyn closed with disposition code L1, 70 Dartmouth Loop on Staten Island closed with disposition code A1, and 530 West 55th Street in Manhattan closed with disposition code G8 — all per DOB records. Disposition codes reflect what an inspector found on that visit; none of these constitute a finding of fault beyond DOB's own coding.

For contractors working near any of these addresses: an open DOB complaint is public record the moment it's entered, and it can surface in a title search, an insurance review, or a due-diligence pull long before any violation is issued. Worth checking your own active permits against DOB's Building Information System if you're operating in these zip codes this week.
