Five complaints entered the Department of Buildings' complaint system on November 1, 2026, spanning four boroughs, according to DOB Complaints Received records. Each is an open allegation at the intake stage — DOB logs a complaint when someone calls it in, and the agency has not yet published any inspection or disposition for these.
In Manhattan, complaint number 1740669 was entered against 146 Henry Street in the Lower East Side (ZIP 10002, BIN 1003244), filed under complaint category 31 and assigned to DOB's Manhattan borough office, per DOB records. Category 31 covers structural stability concerns.
In Brooklyn, complaint number 3A87281 was entered against 60 Monitor Street in Greenpoint (ZIP 11222, BIN 3425477), filed under category 6S and routed to DOB's elevator unit, per DOB records. Category 6S covers elevator-related complaints.
In Queens, two complaints were entered. Complaint number 4A57117 covers 241-42 South Conduit Avenue in Rosedale (ZIP 11422, BIN 4288312), filed under category 2G and assigned to DOB's Special Operations unit, per DOB records. Complaint number 4A57118 covers 62-60 99th Street in Rego Park (ZIP 11374, BIN 4050421), filed under category 6M and also routed to the elevator unit, per DOB records.
In the Bronx, complaint number 2453301 was entered against 1532 Overing Street in Westchester Square (ZIP 10461, BIN 2041924), filed under category 23 and assigned to DOB's Construction Safety Enforcement unit, per DOB records.
None of these complaints has a posted inspection result or violation as of this writing. A DOB complaint is an allegation that triggers a mandatory agency inspection, not a finding — the agency can close a complaint as unsubstantiated, issue a violation, or escalate it, and that determination typically posts separately and later.
Separately, a 2023 NBC New York report on the city's sidewalk-shed reduction plan recirculated in local feeds this week; it describes no new incident and is not connected to any of the five complaints above.
