DOB served 29 new ECB violations dated September 1, per DOB ECB Violation records, spanning Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, and the Bronx. Three carry Class 1 status, the department's most serious tier — reserved for conditions inspectors flagged as an immediate hazard to the public.

The worst of the batch: at 6510 7th Avenue in Brooklyn, DOB cited UGB Construction Inc after inspectors found concrete and construction debris had fallen onto the adjacent property's rear yard, per the violation record. That one carries a $10,000 penalty and a hearing set for November 18. At 852 Pennsylvania Avenue in Brooklyn, DOB wrote up HKS Corp after finding a gas leak on a boiler — National Grid shut the gas to the unit — plus an unsupported copper pipe the record says was "held by a shoe lace." That's a $2,500 penalty, hearing November 18. And at 35-12 Farrington Street in Flushing, Queens, DOB cited Home Style Improvements for a pipe scaffold missing guardrails, with loose netting and planking that wasn't fully secured — $5,000, hearing November 10.

Two more violations concern elevators already out of service. At 867 West 181st Street in Manhattan, DOB cited Duncraggen Realty Corp for a service elevator down, calling it a hazardous condition under the building maintenance code — $1,250, hearing November 5. At 1548 East 2nd Street in Brooklyn, DOB cited 2342 Atlantic 22 LLC because the building's only elevator was out of service, a condition the violation record says is "dangerous to human life" for tenants including those with special needs — $1,250, hearing November 18.

A third cluster is about paperwork DOB says never got filed. At 147-24 Hillside Avenue in Jamaica, Queens, DOB cited Rockaway Storage Inc for a front fence in disrepair — the record notes an RCA (request for corrective action) went out back on May 13, 2025, and the condition still wasn't fixed. At 132 Remsen Street in Brooklyn, DOB cited SDS Leonard LLC, and at 104-40 108th Street in South Richmond Hill, Queens, DOB cited Assured Builders Inc — both for failing to file a certificate of correction on an earlier violation. Each of those three carries a $1,250 penalty.

For a contractor, this is the part of the record that's easy to skip past but shouldn't be: an unresolved ECB violation follows the property, not just the job that caused it. If you're bidding work at any of these addresses — or buying into a deal where one of these entities is the seller or the GC of record — the open violation and its balance due are things a title search or a permit pull will surface anyway. Better to know now.

None of these violations is a finding of guilt — all are listed ACTIVE with hearing status PENDING, and respondents can contest at OATH. Hearings run November 5, 6, 10, and 18; anyone with a direct interest in these properties can look up the case number through DOB NOW or the ECB violation search. Separately, DOB logged 100 new complaints citywide in the same 48-hour window, per DOB Complaints Received records — a complaint is just a trigger for an inspection, not a finding, and none of those complaints appears in this piece as anything more than volume context.
