Twenty bids at a construction site don't always end in a scope dispute — sometimes the paperwork ends in a hearing room instead. A batch of OATH/ECB tickets set for hearing October 21 shows the New York City Department of Buildings citing contractors and property owners across Brooklyn and Staten Island for violations ranging from unauthorized work to expired fence permits, per OATH/ECB hearing records.
All of the cases listed carry a hearing date of October 21, 2026, split between the Brooklyn 3 and Staten Island 5 tribunals, and all have already been resolved as "IN VIOLATION" with compliance marked "All Terms Met," according to the records.
At 422 Fulton Street in Brooklyn, DOB cited Central Construction Mana[gement] on August 16 for excess material stored on a sidewalk shed beyond what approved plans allowed, with inspectors ordering a stop to all storage and shed use at that location, per DOB records. The violation carries a $1,250 penalty.
At 1859 East 9 Street in Brooklyn, DOB cited Rhy Construction LLC on August 13 for installing cold-formed steel decking over the cellar where approved structural drawings called for wood joists — work the record describes as contrary to approved plans, requiring an amended filing. That violation also carries a $1,250 penalty.
At 41 Delaware Street on Staten Island, DOB cited Blue City Construction on August 11 after finding a construction fence still standing under a permit that had expired May 16, 2026, per DOB records, with a $1,250 penalty attached.
A cluster of elevator-maintenance violations also appears in the batch: at 205 North 8 Street in Brooklyn (205 N LLC), 426 Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn (Franklins Tower 26 LLC, two separate tickets), 3260 Coney Island Avenue in Brooklyn (3260 Tenants Corporation), 60 Division Avenue in Brooklyn (Division Housing Corporation), and 55 Linden Boulevard in Brooklyn (55 Linden LLC), DOB cited conditions including inoperative cab lights and communication systems, missing Braille tags, worn gibs, and water in elevator pits, per OATH/ECB records. Penalties on these run $625 apiece.
Separately, at 2246 80 Street in Brooklyn, DOB cited The 80th 81 St Condominiums for nine air-conditioning split units with disconnect boxes installed on three building exposures without an electrical permit on file, per DOB records, carrying a $1,250 penalty. And at 516 Herkimer Street in Brooklyn, DOB cited 516 Herkimer LLC for household items left in interior hallways and stairwells across floors two through eight, creating what the violation describes as tripping conditions, also a $1,250 penalty.
None of the violations in this batch show an outstanding balance due — all list a balance of "0" — and total penalties across the batch run from $300 (a Bogart Street case for an unposted permit) up to $1,250 per ticket on the more serious work-without-conformance charges.
