Seven Active DOB Complaints, Two of Them Elevators

No new DOB enforcement actions, stop-work orders, or federal safety records posted in the last two days, per the datasets this desk tracks.

DOB's complaint intake logged seven new complaints on September 29 across Queens, Brooklyn, and the Bronx, per DOB Complaints Received records. Complaint numbers 4A53254 through 4A53258, 3A82574, and 2451156 remain in ACTIVE status, meaning DOB has not yet closed them out with an inspection disposition.

Two of the seven are elevator-related: one at 64-11 99th Street in Queens (BIN 4050798, category 6M, filed with DOB's Elevator unit) and one at 42-18 Bell Boulevard in Queens (BIN 4138219, category 6S, also Elevator unit). Elevator complaints route to DOB's dedicated ELEVR unit rather than a borough office, which is why those two show a different assignment than the rest of the batch.

The remaining five span a mix of categories: 20-30 Steinway Street in Queens (BIN 4016088, category 31), 573 Classon Avenue in Brooklyn (BIN 3428915, category 15), 5992 Netherland Avenue in the Bronx (BIN 2086349, category 4J, filed with DOB's Emergency Response Team), and 101-21 92nd Street (BIN 4620225, category 55) and 97-22 97th Street (BIN 4188631, category 15), both in Queens.

A DOB complaint is an allegation someone called in — not a finding, not a violation, and not evidence anything is actually wrong at the address. DOB has not issued a violation or a stop-work order tied to any of these seven as of this writing.

For contractors working near any of these addresses, an ACTIVE complaint means an inspector may show up unannounced. If you're the GC or sub of record at 64-11 99th Street, 42-18 Bell Boulevard, 20-30 Steinway Street, 573 Classon Avenue, 5992 Netherland Avenue, 101-21 92nd Street, or 97-22 97th Street, it's worth checking DOB NOW's public complaint lookup for the current disposition before an inspector catches you off guard.

DOB's complaint and violation data is public at DOB NOW and NYC Open Data; disposition on each of these active complaints will post once an inspector closes them out.
