Six Bronx construction sites picked up sidewalk-shed and facade-protection violations that all landed on the same OATH hearing calendar last week, according to Department of Buildings records decided September 18.

At 4263 3rd Avenue in the Bronx, where a six-story building is under new construction, DOB cited Wesbuilt Construction Man twice for the same July 15 inspection: a battery-powered grinder missing its guard, and a sidewalk shed with no contact-information panel. Each ticket carries a $1,250 penalty, both marked in violation.

Down the block at 601 East 149th Street, DK Builders Inc was cited for a sidewalk shed running on a permit that expired June 3, 2026, plus a separate $2,400 citation for ripped netting and shed obstruction over a crosswalk signal, per DOB records from a July 13 inspection.

At 85 McClellan Street, Coast Group Corp drew three tickets from a single July 9 inspection of suspended C-hook scaffolding: failure to display required site documents, use of manual rope C-hook scaffolding without proper DOB notification, and an expired shed permit — a combined $2,675 in penalties across the three.

A fourth Bronx site, 2916 Grand Concourse, saw the Catholic Kolping Society cited for active facade work on C-hook suspended scaffolding with no permit on file, a $2,500 work-without-a-permit charge under Administrative Code 28-105.

And at 1402 Clay Avenue, Reliable Enterprise Inc was cited $2,400 for a loose shed parapet section and a damaged, rotted mud sill on its sidewalk shed.

All six cases were decided September 18 at DOB's Bronx hearing unit, all resulted in findings of violation, and as of this writing none show any penalty paid, per OATH/ECB hearing records.

Separately, a run of elevator-related violations closed out the same week: Holland Industries LLC (730 East 236th Street, Bronx), Willow LLC (190 Willow Avenue, Bronx), Merriam Avenue Associates (1314 Merriam Avenue, Bronx), and ELG1275 LLC (1201 Ogden Avenue, Bronx) were each cited for elevators found out of service or with safety devices bypassed — the Ogden Avenue ticket noting the building's only elevator was down, affecting tenants with special needs. Two more properties, 3505 14th Avenue and 264 Van Siclen Avenue in Brooklyn, drew separate code-compliance citations for obstructed fire escape access and an alleged illegal apartment conversion, respectively.

For contractors working active facade or shed jobs in the Bronx: expired shed permits and missing documentation are the two citations showing up again and again in this batch. A shed permit lapse is a $625 to $1,250 ticket on its own — cheap compared to a stop-work order, but it compounds fast when inspectors find multiple issues on one visit, as happened at three of these six addresses.

None of these records show an injury or a stop-work order beyond the routine 'stop all use' language tied to individual equipment citations. Property owners and contractors named can appeal or request a hearing through OATH; balances remain due per the department's compliance-status field.
