The Department of Buildings logged a construction-related incident on October 7 at 52 William Street in Manhattan, according to DOB's Construction-Related Incidents dataset.
The record — accident report number 46550, for the building with Building Identification Number 1001006 — classifies the event under the category "Other Construction Related." DOB's data lists zero fatalities and zero injuries associated with the report.
The address sits on the block bounded by BBL 1000400016, in Manhattan Community District 101 and City Council District 1, within the 10005 zip code.
DOB's incident dataset does not include a narrative description of what occurred beyond the category code, and no further detail was available as of this writing.
Separately, DOB's Complaints Received dataset logged roughly 100 new complaints citywide over the past two days, spanning categories from elevator issues (category 6S) to illegal conversions (category 74) to plumbing (category 65) across all five boroughs — a complaint alone is an unverified allegation, not a confirmed violation, and none of them are connected to the William Street incident record.
For contractors and building owners, the William Street entry is a reminder of how DOB's incident log actually works day to day: most entries are logged without fatality or injury, and the category code is often the only detail the public record provides. Anyone with work at or near 52 William Street can look up the full incident and any related violations directly through DOB's NOW public portal using BIN 1001006.
