Four separate Bronx buildings were found "in violation" at Department of Buildings hearings over elevator conditions that inspectors flagged as Class 2 — the mid-tier category for conditions that are hazardous but not classified as immediately life-threatening. All four cases go before the same hearing calendar, Bronx 2, on October 30, per OATH/ECB hearing records.
At 1775 Davidson Avenue in the Bronx, an inspection on August 26 found that an elevator "stopped and opened with the car platform substantially below the landing, exposing the hoistway and creating an immediate passenger hazard," according to the violation details on record. The respondent is listed as A Davidson LLC. The hearing officer's result was "in violation," with a total violation amount of $625 under the Failure to Maintain Elevator or Conveying System charge (Administrative Code 28-304).
At 1672 Davidson Avenue, also in the Bronx, an August 26 inspection cited Ann-Gur Realty Corp after finding the in-car emergency communication device was "not connected to a continuously staffed location as required by Appendix K." The case also resulted in a finding of "in violation" with a $625 penalty assessed.
At 4435 White Plains Road, an August 25 inspection cited Northeastern Conferecorp for a main line switch whose front door "can be opened while power remains energized," which the violation details describe as creating "an improperly protected electrical disconnect condition" under ASME A17.1 safety standards. That case likewise closed "in violation" with a $625 penalty.
At 1792 Lafayette Avenue, an August 25 inspection cited J X LLC for an inoperative emergency phone, which the record says failed "required two-way communication for passenger assistance." The violation also resulted in a finding of "in violation" and a $625 penalty.
A fifth case, unrelated to elevators, also landed on the same Bronx hearing calendar: at 1426 Boston Road, inspectors cited 1429 Prospect LLC under the broader Failure to Maintain Building charge after finding that "the entire ceiling has fallen down due to a water leak" in a ground-floor office, with "a heavy smell of dampness" noted in the violation details. That case carried a $1,250 penalty and also resulted in a finding of "in violation."
All five cases show a compliance status of "All Terms Met" and a balance due of $0, according to OATH/ECB hearing records, indicating the assessed penalties have been resolved administratively.
Separately, DOB's complaint-intake system logged 100 new complaints citywide over the past two days, including several elevator-related entries (unit code ELEVR) in Queens and the Bronx. Those complaints are unverified at intake and do not themselves establish a violation; they are cited here only for volume context.
