Niche Waterproofing LLC defaulted on an OATH/ECB hearing tied to a construction-safety violation at 2520 Tilden Avenue in Brooklyn, according to OATH/ECB hearing records.
The underlying violation, issued by the Department of Buildings, cites the company for failure to safeguard the public and property affected by construction operations. Per DOB's charge description in the record, an inspector on August 11, 2025, at 3:45 p.m. observed brick and small debris on top of the roof and in the yard of the adjacent property at 2516 Tilden Avenue.
The violation carries the code section BC B109, fail to safeguard public and property, according to the OATH/ECB record. The case was rescheduled for an October 23, 2026 phone hearing, which the respondent did not attend; OATH recorded the result as a default.
The total penalty imposed is $12,500, against a base violation amount of $10,000, and OATH's compliance-status field lists the balance as penalty due, with the paid amount recorded as zero. Niche Waterproofing's address on file with the city is in Brooklyn's 11206 zip code.
The Tilden Avenue address sits in Brooklyn's community board territory covering East Flatbush; the record does not identify the specific job the company was performing at 2520 Tilden Avenue at the time of the inspection, nor does it name any individual connected to the violation.
What to do next
If you're pulling permits or subbing on a job involving Niche Waterproofing LLC, the open balance and defaulted hearing are matters of public record through OATH's case-status portal — worth checking before you sign on, since an unresolved ECB judgment can attach as a lien against the responsible party. Adjacent-property owners dealing with debris or safeguarding complaints during active construction can file a 311 complaint to generate a DOB inspection and a paper trail, which is exactly how this case started.
