OATH/ECB hearing records updated this week show a cluster of defaulted cases tied to active construction sites in the Bronx and Brooklyn, all rescheduled to a single hearing date of September 21, 2026.

At 2444 Tiebout Avenue in the Bronx — a 10-story new building site — DOB records show two tickets against Mega Contracting GP LLC. One, for $6,250 in penalties, cites jersey barriers on the roadway that inspectors say were not properly secured or interlocked with sand or water, per BC 3301. A second, for $5,000, describes an inspector finding the site closed with no construction activity and shouting at the perimeter to reach a watchperson. Both hearings defaulted and are rescheduled for September 21; the full $11,250 remains unpaid, per OATH/ECB records.

At 690 East 182 Street in the Bronx, a 5-story active jobsite drew four separate tickets against Notias Construction Inc, totaling $20,000 in imposed penalties. Records describe a sidewalk shed deck not maintained per BC 3307.6.5.5 — loose materials, debris, and garbage bags — plus pipe scaffolds with loose elements, a supported scaffold loaded without documentation, and a suspended scaffold missing guardrails and toe boards. All four hearings defaulted and are rescheduled for September 21, per OATH/ECB records.

At 620 East 32 Street in Brooklyn, a ticket against respondent Ilan Peleg for $10,000 cites a construction superintendent who allegedly failed to perform required duties under BC 3301.13.7 and 3301.13.8, including failing to document unsafe conditions in the site logbook, per DOB records. That hearing also defaulted and is rescheduled for September 21.

The remainder of this week's defaults are illegal-conversion cases rather than active-jobsite tickets: cellar apartments built out with kitchens, bathrooms, and sleeping quarters without permits at addresses in Cambria Heights, South Ozone Park, Jamaica, and the Bronx, plus a Brooklyn sidewalk concrete job and a Queens electrical job cited for work without a permit. Penalties on those cases range from $250 to $12,500 per ticket, and all carry the same defaulted status and September 21 rescheduled hearing date, per OATH/ECB records.

None of these tickets allege injury. A defaulted hearing means the respondent did not appear or respond by the scheduled date; balances remain due regardless, and OATH can pursue collection or additional penalties on top of the amounts listed here.

For contractors working active sites, the Mega Contracting and Notias tickets are the ones worth reading closely — both are ordinary DOB site-safety sweep findings on live jobs, the kind of citation any GC can pick up on a routine inspection if barriers, sheds, or scaffolds aren't logged and maintained to spec.

Respondents with hearings on September 21 can still request an adjournment or contest the ticket through OATH's portal before the date; ignoring a defaulted hearing doesn't make the balance go away.
