Twenty-one construction and building-safety violations across Brooklyn are set for a single OATH/ECB hearing day, October 14, at the Brooklyn 3 tribunal, according to Department of Buildings records filed with the Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings.
Every case in the batch already carries a hearing result of "IN VIOLATION" and a compliance status of "All Terms Met," per OATH/ECB records — meaning these are closed dockets being formally logged, not open disputes.
The largest cluster, nine of the twenty-one tickets, cites the same code section: Administrative Code 28-304, failure to maintain an elevator or conveying system. Addresses cited include 80 Lenox Road, 1745 President Street, 2700 Atlantic Avenue, 1004 Montgomery Street, 550 Ocean Avenue, 576 Eastern Parkway, 875 Pennsylvania Avenue, 31 Ainslie Street, and 228 Berry Street, all in Brooklyn, per DOB records. Violation details range from inoperative car phones and misaligned cab mirrors to a dirty elevator pit and missing Braille floor-landing tags — routine maintenance code items rather than failures tied to an incident.
Three tickets involve active construction sites rather than standing buildings. At 98 North 6 Street in Williamsburg, DOB records show a violation issued against Structure Tone LLC on August 10 for failing to post a primary work permit at a three-story alteration site, with $300 in fines. At 1667 East 24 Street in Midwood, Z J Construction Corp was cited the same day for an uncovered electrical panel used as a temporary power source in the cellar, a $800 violation under the city's electrical code. At 313 Degraw Street in Carroll Gardens, Tisheh Construction Corp was cited August 6 for failing to control overloaded debris at an active site, a $1,250 housekeeping violation.
Two more active-site citations round out the batch: Mega General Constr NYC was cited $1,250 at 279 Pacific Street in Boerum Hill on August 6 for using a public fire hydrant without a DEP permit, and Consolidated Scaffolding was cited $1,250 at 250 Central Avenue in Bushwick on August 3 for a sidewalk shed built with openings not shown on its approved drawings. Pofi Construction Corp was cited $1,250 at 805 St Marks Avenue in Crown Heights on August 4 for maintaining a sidewalk shed under a permit that had expired July 31.
No injuries, collapses, or stop-work orders appear among these filings, per DOB and OATH/ECB records. All fines are in the $300 to $1,250 range and tied to administrative and maintenance code sections, not emergency actions.
For contractors: a posted primary permit, a covered temp power panel, and a current shed permit are the cheapest insurance against a four-figure OATH ticket — three of these fines could have been avoided by a five-minute walk of the site before an inspector's. Property owners and managing agents with elevator violations on this list should confirm their maintenance contractor has corrected the cited items before the October 14 hearing date; compliance status already reads "All Terms Met" in OATH's own system, meaning the underlying conditions have reportedly been resolved.
