The city's Department of Buildings logged three construction-related incidents on October 22, two of them involving injuries, according to DOB's Construction-Related Incidents dataset.
In Manhattan, DOB recorded an accident at 83 Madison Street in the Lower East Side (BIN 1003331), categorized as involving mechanical construction equipment. The record lists one injury and no fatality. The address falls in Manhattan Community District 103 and City Council District 1.
In Queens, DOB recorded a second accident involving mechanical construction equipment at 131-02 40 Road in Flushing (BIN 4614966). That record also lists one injury and no fatality. The address sits in Queens Community District 407 and City Council District 20.
A third record, filed as an incident rather than an accident, came from 766 Quincy Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn (BIN 3044533). DOB categorized it as "Other Construction Related" and listed no injury and no fatality. The address falls in Brooklyn Community District 303.
DOB's incident dataset distinguishes "Accident" records, which involve injury, fatality, or property damage tied to construction activity, from broader "Incident" records that can cover a wider range of site conditions. None of the three records reviewed here include a fatality.
Separately, DOB's complaints system logged roughly 100 new complaints citywide over the same two-day window, spanning categories from illegal conversions to construction-without-permit allegations, spread across Staten Island, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Manhattan. Those complaints are unverified allegations on their face and are not connected to the three incident records above; they are cited here only to show the volume of activity DOB is processing this week.
No additional details — contractor names, work type underway, or the nature of the injuries — are included in DOB's public incident records as of this writing.
