A worker fell at 287 Maspeth Avenue in Brooklyn on October 15, according to DOB's Construction-Related Incidents dataset, which logged one injury and no fatality at the site.
The address sits in Community District 301, zip code 11211, under BIN 3338267 — the industrial stretch along the Newtown Creek corridor known to DOB as part of its Industrial Business Zone designation.
DOB records show a related complaint at the same address closed out the day before the incident: complaint number 3A84902, filed under category 91 with the Construction Safety Enforcement (CSE) unit, was entered October 15 and disposed the same day with disposition code I2 following an inspection.
The incident report lists the event type as "Worker Fell" under DOB's check2_description field — DOB's shorthand for a fall-related accident, distinct from a fall from height off a structure or scaffold, which DOB codes separately.
No further detail on the worker's condition, the nature of the work underway, or any contractor on site has been made public in the dataset.
DOB's incident and complaint records are public; anyone can look up the BIN or address through DOB's online portal to track whether a violation or stop-work order follows.
For contractors working nearby or bidding into the Maspeth Avenue corridor, the closed CSE complaint the day before the fall is worth watching — if DOB issues a violation tied to the incident, it typically posts separately in the Safety Violations dataset within the week.
