The city hit a construction site at 3992 Block, Lot 30 in Brooklyn — Building Identification Number 3088769 — with a Class 1 violation and a partial stop-work order after an inspector found work underway that did not match the plans the Department of Buildings had approved for the site, according to DOB ECB Violations records.

The violation, number 39210346X, was issued and served on November 2, 2026, and carries a $2,500 penalty that remains unpaid, per DOB records. The respondent is listed as Alpaben Patel APX Contrac, with an address at 39 Remsen Ave, Valley Stream.

DOB's violation description says an Office of Technical Review inspector "observed work currently being performed does not conform to DOB approved plans," and cites a partial stop-work order, PSWO OP-71-26-11318, directing the contractor to conform the work to the approved documents. The citation references section 28-105.12.2 of the city's Construction Codes, which covers work that departs from approved construction documents or amendments.

DOB classified the violation as Class 1, the most serious tier the agency uses, and marked it not aggravated. A hearing is scheduled for January 13, 2027, at 9:30 a.m., and the case is listed as pending, per DOB records. No dollar amount has been paid toward the $2,500 penalty as of the violation's issue date.

DOB's violation record does not identify the specific scope of work underway at the site, nor does it name a general contractor beyond the respondent listed. The record does not indicate whether the partial stop-work order has since been lifted.

What to do next

Anyone working this Brooklyn address — subs, suppliers, or a GC coordinating trades — should pull the full ECB case file under violation number 39210346X before scheduling further work there; a partial stop-work order means some portion of the site cannot proceed until DOB signs off that the work conforms to approved plans.

The January 13, 2027 hearing date is the next checkpoint in the public record. Firms with exposure on this job should track that hearing for resolution, and confirm with DOB directly which specific work the partial stop-work order covers before mobilizing additional crews.
