DOB issued two active ECB violations on September 14 against MJH Construction Corp for a 7-story new building at 670 Myrtle Avenue in Brooklyn, both stemming from an inspection that responded to a reported fall, according to DOB ECB violation records.

Per the violation descriptions, a worker was using an A-frame ladder to run camera wire in a stairway area on the second floor when the worker fell from the second floor to the first floor. Responding to that incident, inspectors cited the site for two separate safety-documentation failures: violation 39559152J (Class 1, $5,000) for failing to maintain a record of a pre-shift safety meeting for each worker, and violation 39559153L (Class 1, $5,000) for the permit holder failing to ensure workers received a required site safety orientation.

Both violations are pending hearing on November 20, 2026, according to DOB records, with a combined $10,000 in proposed penalties, none paid as of the service date.

The DOB record does not describe the injured worker's condition or confirm whether emergency responders were called; the violations document only the safety-paperwork failures inspectors found when they investigated the fall. Readers should check DOB's BIS system for BIN 2131151 for any linked stop-work order.

The pairing here is instructive for anyone running a site safety program: the violations aren't for the fall itself but for the paper trail — no documented pre-shift meeting, no documented orientation — that DOB expects to already exist when its inspectors show up after an incident.
