DOB inspectors served 34 new ECB violations across four boroughs on September 27, the bulk of them tied to the severe weather advisory that ran September 24 through 27, according to DOB ECB Violations records.

The pattern is site security, not structural failure. Inspectors cited unsecured jersey barriers — not interlocked, not filled with sand or water — at five separate sites: Heritage V LLC at 425 Northern Blvd in Great Neck (two violations tied to the same Queens BIN 3822353, block 1754, lot 16), Sunshine Constr USA Inc at 27 Satmar Drive in Monroe, Xinye Construction Inc at 66 Olive Street in Great Neck, and Selca Construction Inc at 105 East 34th Street in Manhattan, where DOB records describe a 12-story proposed new building. Each carries a Class 1 or Class 2 severity citation for failing to comply with manufacturer specifications under BC 3301.1.3, with penalties of $1,250 to $2,500 per violation.

Three sites drew watchperson-absence citations at inactive buildings: Lead It Builders LLC at 670 Myrtle Avenue in Brooklyn was cited twice, for BIN 2131146 and BIN 2818830, after inspectors said they knocked at every gate and got no response at a 14-story inactive structure. City Wide Builders Grp Inc at 31 Spencer Street in Brooklyn drew a similar citation at a 9-story building under construction, which DOB records list with a 7,038-square-foot footprint requiring a watchperson under code.

Two Manhattan citations went to Gilbane Building Company at 1411 Broadway (BIN 1083922), both Class 1 severity: one for debris netting not securely attached to a supported pipe scaffold, the other for using tarp material that DOB records say did not match the approved plans for the site's suspended scaffold. Each carries a $2,500 or $5,000 penalty.

SCG America Const Inc at 1500 Broadway in Manhattan (BIN 4624392) picked up three violations tied to its sidewalk shed — prohibited leasing-opportunity signage on the shed parapet, loose styrofoam insulation at street level flagged during the weather advisory as a slip and traffic hazard, and combustible debris stored outside a required non-combustible container near a pedestrian passageway. The insulation citation carries the batch's top penalty, $5,000.

Two Flushing sites drew citations for conditions found during inspections where no active construction was underway: L&L Construction Develop at 169-05 Northern Blvd was cited twice at a five-story new building — once for a missing fence section at Exposure 4, once for accumulated debris — and Mod Consultants LLC at 144-21 72nd Avenue was cited for construction fencing installed under a permit that DOB and BIS records show expired July 8, 2026.

Separately, DOB's ECB Violations dataset logged two Class 1 violations issued in the same window under an older docket series: Target Construction LLC at 4118 14th Avenue in Brooklyn, for roughly 26 linear feet of leaning, unrepaired construction fence, and Kew Realty LLC at 147-09 75th Road in Flushing, for household items blocking a ground-floor hallway.

All 34 violations carry hearing dates between December 1 and December 4 at the city's OATH tribunal, and all are listed as pending with no payments recorded, per DOB records.

None of the records reviewed describe an injury, a collapse, or a stop-work order. For contractors working through the same weather window, the read is straightforward: DOB sent inspectors out during and right after the advisory specifically checking barrier anchoring, fencing condition, and site security — the same four or five items across a dozen different firms. A crew that skipped re-securing barriers or re-checking a watchperson schedule during high winds is exactly who got written up.

Firms named above can look up their hearing date and balance due through DOB's ECB violation search using the violation numbers cited. Any firm contesting a citation has until its scheduled OATH hearing date to respond or request an adjournment.
