DOB ECB violations served October 5 show a cluster of active construction sites across the city cited for expired permits, unpermitted work, and safety-equipment lapses, per Department of Buildings records.
At 2057 East 22nd Street in Brooklyn (BIN 3198464), a violation against respondent Cohen Morris alleges the site continued work after a full stop-work order was issued June 8, in violation of a posted order — DOB cited a newly built structure observed at the exposure. The Class 1 violation carries a $10,000 penalty, with a hearing set for December 9 at 10:30 a.m.
At 38-14 11th Street in Long Island City (BIN 3081033), J&S Contracting Group Inc. was cited for active facade work on a six-story building alteration with no guardrails installed at two exposures while workers were present on the roof, a Class 1 violation carrying a $5,000 penalty. Hearing set for December 9 at 8:30 a.m.
At 180 Maiden Lane in Manhattan, respondent 154-71 Brookville Owners was cited for failing to notify DOB before using suspended scaffolds supported by C-hooks or outrigger beams, a $2,500 Class 2 violation with a hearing set for December 15.
At 199 Lee Avenue in Brooklyn (BIN 1014572), WMCM LLC was cited for posting unlawful signage on a construction fence, a $2,500 violation; at 315 Hart Street in Brooklyn (BIN 3043023), Hart 26 Realty LLC was cited for an expired fence permit on a site already under a full stop-work order tied to a withdrawn superintendent, a $1,250 violation.
Several more sites were cited for expired fence or construction-equipment permits alone: 183 Wilson Street in Brooklyn (BIN 3063538, Berkowits Realty LLC, two separate violations including inadequate overhead protection for adjoining properties during roof demolition) and 1502 37th Street in Brooklyn (respondent Judah Spitz, fence permit expired since October 1, 2025).
DOB also logged a Bronx excavation incident: at 3 Rodman's Neck Path, a violation against Brickens Construction Inc. of Yonkers states an excavator exiting the pit made contact with overhead telephone, internet, and electrical wires attached to a pole outside the site, a $2,500 violation with no injuries described in the record.
All violations above were served October 5, 2026 and remain active with hearings scheduled between December 9 and December 18, per DOB ECB records; balances remain unpaid as of the filing date in every case listed.
For contractors: a stop-work order and a scaffold or roof guardrail citation on an active job both halt billable progress immediately, and DOB's posted-order violations (like the Cohen Morris site) carry the steepest penalties in this batch. Anyone with an active permit nearing its renewal date should check status before DOB's inspector does.
Hearing dates for each violation are listed above; contractors or owners named can look up full violation detail and contest or pay through the NYC Department of Buildings ECB portal.
