Twenty-one OATH/ECB hearings tied to Department of Buildings violations are set for Manhattan and Brooklyn tribunals on October 8, per OATH/ECB Hearings (Case Status) records. All twenty-one carry a hearing result of "in violation," and compliance status on nineteen of them already reads "All Terms Met."
The largest cluster involves work found not to conform to approved construction documents — DOB's shorthand for site conditions that do not match the filed plans. At 1477 Third Avenue in Manhattan (block 1529, lot 4), Omni Build Inc. was cited three times for the same August 4 inspection: shoring at cantilever beams installed without required safety catches, and field conditions — including a single material hoist where the approved site safety plan called for two — that did not match the approved plan. Each citation carries a $1,250 penalty.
At 200 East 27th Street in Manhattan (block 907, lot 56), two firms were cited from the same August 4 inspection. Katz Steven was cited after scaffold users at the site could not produce a certificate of fitness matching the company doing the work, presenting one from a different company instead. Kay Waterproofing Corp was cited the same day for site conditions — removable barricades around a sidewalk access ladder — that did not match the filed site safety plan. Each citation carries a $1,250 penalty.
Sciame Homes NY LLC drew two citations at 53 East 77th Street (block 1392, lot 25) from a July 29 inspection: a supported scaffold with outriggers extended to four feet where the approved plan called for two, and hoists rated above the approved capacity; separately, a sidewalk shed missing required X-braces and clamps. Each citation carries a $1,250 penalty.
ZDJ Construction Inc. was cited at 439 West 36th Street (block 734, lot 10) after inspectors found two fully furnished model apartments occupied on the sixth floor without a temporary certificate of occupancy, per the violation record. DTO Alterations LLC was cited at 253 West 24th Street for a sidewalk shed whose braces did not meet the approved plan's minimum height.
Separately, six elevator-related citations for failure to maintain a conveying system are on the same hearing calendar, spread across buildings on Third Avenue, Seventh Avenue, Lexington Avenue and West 111th and West 144th Streets, citing expired maintenance tags, missing logs, and malfunctioning call buttons. None of the twenty-one records in this batch involve an injury.
All of it traces back to the same hearing date because OATH/ECB batches tribunal calendars; the violations themselves span inspections from late June through early August. For firms on this list, a captioned hearing result of "in violation" with penalty paid and compliance status "All Terms Met" generally means the fine was resolved administratively, not litigated.
