Four buildings across the Bronx, Queens, and Manhattan were cited on September 25 for failing to file annual energy-benchmarking reports under Local Law 84, according to DOB Safety Violations records. All four violations were logged the same day, and DOB's own records already show all four as "Dismissed."
The cited addresses are 820 Colgate Avenue and 825 Boynton Avenue in the Bronx (Soundview-Bruckner-Bronx River), 37-14 Parsons Boulevard in Flushing, Queens, and 401 West 218th Street in Inwood, Manhattan. Each violation carries the code DQ-EN-BENCH and cites Administrative Code Section 28-309.4, which requires owners of covered buildings to file an annual report of energy and water use.
DOB's dismissal of all four the same cycle they were issued is consistent with routine correction or a filing that posted after the violation was generated — the record does not say which, and this piece draws no conclusion beyond what DOB has posted.
Separately, DOB's Complaints Received dataset logged 100 new complaints citywide in the two days ending September 29, spanning categories from elevator conditions to illegal conversions to construction-safety referrals. Those entries are unverified complaints, not confirmed violations, and none of them factor into the benchmarking items above — they're noted here only as a volume snapshot of the department's intake this week.
For contractors and owners tracking Local Law 84 compliance: a benchmarking violation is a paperwork failure, not a life-safety citation, but it can still trigger fines that escalate with repeat non-filing. Building owners and managing agents can check a property's filing status and any open violations directly through DOB's Building Information Search using the BIN or address listed above.
