The city's Environmental Control Board logged two dozen new construction violations across all five boroughs on September 8, per DOB ECB Violations records, with penalties ranging from $300 to $10,000 and hearings scheduled for mid-to-late November.

The largest single penalty in the batch — $10,000 — went to a property at 1853 53rd Street in Brooklyn (BIN 3133261), where DOB records describe additional work performed in violation of a stop-work order issued under complaint 3A68283 and posted July 1, 2026. The violation, cited under section 28-207.2.2 for unlawfully continuing work while a stop-work order was in effect, describes alterations to window openings and additional windows cut into the building's second exposure. The hearing is scheduled for November 18. Respondent of record: Geller Jacob.

At 985 East Tremont Avenue in the Bronx (BIN 2013244), DOB inspectors cited an eight-story building twice in the same visit: once for a sidewalk shed with defective, rotted mudsills not stacked to code, and once for the same shed missing its required information panel. Combined penalties total $3,650, with both hearings set for November 20. Respondent of record: Aquinas Deacon Juan Santo.

Sidewalk-shed maintenance was the most common category in the batch. Beyond the East Tremont Avenue address, DOB cited sheds not meeting code specifications at 121 East 182nd Street in the Bronx (permit expired since December 2024, per the violation record) and at 93 Chestnut Avenue on Staten Island, where inspectors noted loose and missing debris netting across three exposures.

Work-without-a-permit violations, the single most frequent infraction code (28-105.1) in the batch, hit addresses in all five boroughs — including electrical work powering a suspended scaffold at 34-20 79th Street in Queens, plumbing installation at 342 West 71st Street in Manhattan, and a construction fence installed without a permit at 715 Sharrotts Road on Staten Island, which drew two separate violations from the same inspection.

At 203 Avenue F in Brooklyn, DOB cited a work-without-permits violation at a four-story multiple dwelling for a roughly 40-foot-wide, 12-foot-high plywood structure the record says projects about 20 feet from the building. Respondent of record: Congregation and Yeshiva.

Separately, DOB's complaint intake system logged roughly 100 new complaints citywide over the same two-day window, per DOB Complaints Received records — routine volume that has not yet been adjudicated and carries no findings on its own.

None of the violations in this batch are marked as involving injury, and none indicate a full stop-work order currently in force beyond the Brooklyn case cited above. All are listed as ACTIVE with hearings pending; penalty amounts reflect what DOB has imposed, not what has been collected — every balance in this batch shows zero dollars paid to date.

Contractors and owners at any of these addresses can look up the full violation record, including hearing dates and correction requirements, through the DOB's ECB violation search.
