Five active safety violations hit the Department of Buildings' books on September 2, all logged under the same violation type — FTC-AEU-HAZ, device type AEUHAZ — per DOB Safety Violations data. The addresses run from Chelsea to Jackson Heights to the Bronx, and every one is still listed as Active.

At 11 West 25th Street in Manhattan (BIN 1015617, Block 827, Lot 27, Community Board 105), the violation is tagged to a building in the Midtown South-Flatiron-Union Square area. At 410 West 47th Street in Manhattan (BIN 1026495, Block 1056, Lot 38, Community Board 104), the record covers a Hell's Kitchen address.

At 37-21 80th Street in Queens (BIN 4030008, Block 1291, Lot 64, Community Board 403), the violation sits in Jackson Heights. In the Bronx, two separate buildings picked up the same code: 622 East 169th Street (BIN 2004304, Block 2615, Lot 29, Community Board 203) in Morrisania, and 2451 Webb Avenue (BIN 2092439, Block 3226, Lot 53, Community Board 207) in University Heights.

The record does not specify what equipment or condition triggered the FTC-AEU-HAZ code beyond the device type listed — DOB's own data does not spell that out further, and none of the five carry a companion stop-work order in the records reviewed.

For context only: DOB Complaints Received data shows three new complaints entered over the same two days. Two of them, both filed September 2, land on the same building — 300 West 13th Street in Manhattan (BIN 1011074, Community Board 102) — one logged as category 31 and one as category 59, tied to the elevator unit. A third complaint, category 45, was entered against 132-15 79th Street in Queens (BIN 4244858, Community Board 410). Complaints are unverified allegations under DOB's own process, not findings, and none of them are connected to the five violations above.

For contractors and supers working any of these five buildings, an active DOB violation can hold up scheduling, inspections, or future permit sign-off until it's resolved — worth pulling the BIN in DOB NOW before you commit a crew there. Anyone with active work at 300 West 13th Street should also know two elevator-related complaints just landed on the same address, even though a complaint alone proves nothing.
