Two New York City contractors are scheduled for or have completed OATH/ECB hearings tied to Department of Buildings violations at Queens addresses, according to OATH/ECB Hearings (Case Status) records.
At 37-30 74th Street in Jackson Heights, Queens, a six-story building undergoing facade operations was cited after a Department of Buildings inspection on August 21, 2026, at 1:55 p.m. found a suspended scaffold at the building's exterior that, per the violation details, was installed contrary to approved plans, with required wooden blocks missing at the parapet wall. The respondent is listed as Reliable General Contract, with a Brooklyn address on file. The hearing was completed with a result of 'in violation,' and OATH records show a total violation amount of $1,250 tied to a charge of work not conforming to approved construction document amendments. The record lists the balance due as $0 and compliance status as 'All Terms Met.'
At 93-12 202nd Street in Queens Village, Queens, a separate case involves Kensington Construction Corp. over a violation dated March 22, 2019, for failure to provide required ground-fault circuit interrupter protection, with GFCI protection found missing on bathroom receptacle outlets, per the violation details. OATH records list the hearing result as 'defaulted' after the respondent did not appear, with the hearing rescheduled to October 27, 2026. The penalty imposed is listed at $10,000 against a $2,400 violation amount, with compliance status marked 'Both Due' and a balance due of $10,000.
Separately, the Department of Buildings logged 100 complaints citywide over the past two days, per DOB Complaints Received records, spanning categories from boiler and elevator issues to electrical and illegal-conversion complaints across all five boroughs. A complaint reflects an unverified report to the agency, not a confirmed violation, and none of the complaints in this batch are independently tied to the two OATH cases above.
