The Department of Buildings served 30 new ECB violations across the five boroughs on September 16, according to DOB ECB violation records — a mix of unpermitted work, safety lapses, and building-maintenance citations, most carrying penalties between $625 and $10,000.

One firm shows up three times in the same batch. City Wide Builders Grp, based at 31 Spencer Street in Brooklyn, was cited for lacking a required fire safety manager at a 9-story new building at 31 Spencer Street ($5,000, Class 1), for scaffold workers without verified SST safety cards at the same address ($2,500, Class 2), and for covering two separate job sites — 94-09 and 94-11 148th Street in Queens — under a single site safety plan without department approval ($5,000, Class 1), per DOB records. All three remain pending hearing dates of November 20 and 24.

A related filing at one of those Queens addresses, 94-11 148th Street, cited construction superintendent Ravi Kunjbehari for logging attendance at two active job sites — that address and 94-11 148th Street's sister site — under a single construction superintendent log, a $2,500 Class 2 violation, according to DOB records. Construction superintendents are required to be present and log hours separately at each site they supervise.

Unpermitted work drove the largest share of citations. DOB cited 534 W 47 ST LLC at 60 Cuttermill Road, Great Neck, for unbraced window AC units at a Manhattan building; Fansam Properties LLC, tied to a property at 5414 New Utrecht Avenue in Brooklyn, for unpermitted plumbing and electrical work in a cellar bathroom (two separate violations, $2,500 each); and Muhammed J. Uddin of 167-19 109 Road, Jamaica, for a full unpermitted addition in Queens — new block walls, windows, a bathroom, and a roof — that drew a stop-work order and $5,000 in combined penalties, per DOB records.

Also cited: On Star Management LLC, based at 4118 14th Avenue in Brooklyn, for failing to report an incident to DOB within the required three-business-day window ($10,000, Class 1) — the filing does not specify what the underlying incident was. Cross Five Construction, of 49 Whippoorwill Road in East Armonk, drew a $10,000 penalty for a Brooklyn demolition site with no overhead protection over an adjacent property. Sedgwick Housing Development, at 1600 Sedgwick Avenue in the Bronx, was cited for inoperative elevator car lighting and blocked machine-room access.

None of the violations in this batch involve a reported injury. Separately, DOB logged roughly 100 new construction-related complaints citywide over the past two days — elevator, boiler, and construction-safety categories among them — which are unverified reports pending inspection and do not establish that any violation occurred.

For contractors: the site safety plan and construction-superintendent-log citations against City Wide Builders Grp are worth studying regardless of outcome — running multiple sites under one plan or one log is a common shortcut that DOB is clearly checking for. All hearings in this batch are scheduled for November 20, 24, and 25, 2026; respondents can review individual violation numbers through the DOB ECB violation lookup.
