Two Injuries, No Fatalities: DOB's Latest Incident Log

The Department of Buildings logged three construction-related incidents over September 22 and 23, two of them involving injuries, according to DOB's Construction-Related Incidents dataset.

The most recent came September 23 at 222 Broadway in Manhattan, where DOB recorded an incident under the category "Scaffold/Shoring Installations" at the building carrying BIN 1001245. The record lists no injury and no fatality. The address sits in Community District 101, City Council District 1.

The same day, DOB logged an incident at 350 St. Nicholas Avenue, listed in the Queens borough field of the record, at BIN 4624518. The category is "Other Construction Related" and the record shows one injury, no fatality. The site falls in Community District 405, City Council District 34.

A day earlier, on September 22, DOB recorded an accident at 11 West 13th Street in Manhattan, BIN 1091959, also categorized "Other Construction Related." That record likewise shows one injury and no fatality. The address is in Community District 102, City Council District 2.

None of the three records name a fatality, and DOB's public incident data does not identify the contractor of record, the injured party, or a cause. Each entry carries its own accident report ID — 46488 for the Broadway incident, 46487 for St. Nicholas Avenue, and 46484 for West 13th Street — for anyone filing a follow-up records request.

Separately, DOB's Complaints Received dataset shows roughly 100 new complaints logged citywide in the same 48-hour window, spanning categories from illegal conversions to elevator and boiler issues across all five boroughs. A complaint alone is an unverified allegation, not a finding, and none of the addresses in that batch overlap with the three incident records above.

For contractors and site safety managers, the pattern is a reminder that DOB's incident log tends to run a few days behind the news cycle — an incident dated September 22 or 23 posts to the public dataset only now. Anyone with an open job near these addresses should expect DOB attention: an incident report, even one with no fatality, can trigger a site inspection.

Full incident details, including any follow-up inspection results, can be checked against BINs 1001245, 4624518, and 1091959 in DOB's Construction-Related Incidents dataset (Socrata dsId bf97-mjsy) and cross-referenced with DOB NOW for active permits at each address.
