Six Department of Buildings violation cases head to OATH hearings Monday, November 2, with a Brooklyn general contractor accounting for half the docket, according to OATH/ECB hearings records.
MJH Construction Corp. faces three separate tickets tied to 669 Marcy Avenue in Brooklyn, all scheduled for a 9 a.m. hearing at the Brooklyn 3 tribunal. Per OATH/ECB records, all three carry a hearing result of "defaulted" and status "rescheduled." Ticket 039544466K, dated September 5, 2025, cites a sidewalk shed installed but not maintained to code — the inspector noted deteriorated mudsills, loose parapet panels and a missing high-visibility marking on a shed column near a curb cut, carrying a $5,000 penalty. Ticket 039544468Y, dated September 4, 2025, charges the company with failing to file a certificate of correction for an earlier violation, ticket 039542173H, issued July 9, 2025 — that original ticket cited a pipe scaffold atop the sidewalk shed wrapped in a tarp instead of code-required debris netting, with a $6,250 penalty. A related ticket from the same July 9, 2025 inspection, 039542172X, cites a four-story building at the same address for the same tarp-instead-of-netting condition, with a $5,000 penalty. Combined penalties across the three tickets total $16,250, per OATH records, none of it paid as of the filings reviewed.
At 1622 51 Street in Brooklyn, respondent 1622 R LLC faces a defaulted, rescheduled hearing over a work-without-permit charge. OATH records describe a three-story building erected under an application the department had signed off on in February 2025, in conjunction with a separate paving application; the ticket, dated August 26, 2025, carries a $6,250 penalty.
In Manhattan, All Saints Housing LLC has a defaulted hearing set for 58 East 132nd Street over a charge of failing to secure an unsafe facade — sidewalk shed, netting and related safety measures — after a professional engineer's facade technical report flagged the condition as unsafe, per OATH records. That ticket, dated July 29, 2025, carries the docket's largest penalty at $25,000, with the compliance status listed as "both due."
Separately, a Bronx elevator case against 701 Elton Residence LLC at 701 Elton Avenue is set for a completed hearing with a result of "in violation." The July 17, 2026 inspection found the elevator machine room inaccessible and the in-car emergency communication device not connected to a monitored line, per DOB charges cited in the OATH record; the penalty is $625.
None of the hearing results described above beyond the completed Bronx case are final determinations — a "defaulted" status means the respondent did not appear as scheduled and the matter has been rescheduled, per OATH's own case-status terminology, not a finding on the underlying facts.
