The Department of Buildings served a batch of Environmental Control Board violations dated September 30 across all five boroughs, two of them tied to reported worker injuries. Per DOB ECB records, hearings on these are scheduled between December 4 and December 16.
At 1 Riverfront Plaza in Newark — the business address listed for respondent CM and Associates Const — DOB cited the firm twice for a single incident: a worker injured at a building loading dock when material was no longer on the dock following the incident, and a related citation for failing to communicate pinch-point hazards during a pre-shift safety meeting, with a worker reportedly marking 'N/A' when asked about appropriate PPE. Both violations carry $2,500 and $5,000 penalties respectively and are tied to BIN 1091876.
At the borough-based jail site at 5 Hanover Square in Manhattan, respondent Transformative Reform was cited after DOB recorded that 'a laborer was reportedly injured while assisting a concrete truck,' with vehicles found outside a designated safe-site-plan zone. The violation, carrying a $5,000 penalty, is listed under BIN 2131144.
At 50 Rockefeller Plaza, respondent Suffolk Construction Company was cited for welding and steel installation at a 52-story building under construction without approved drawings on site and no site safety manager present — DOB's violation description states work was ordered stopped pending compliance, per BIN 3430107.
Elsewhere, DOB issued structural-maintenance violations for a vertical crack running from the third to first floor at 298 Cypress Avenue in the Bronx (Diego Beekman Mutual Housing, BIN 2003653); a collapsed ceiling and missing roof section at 5992 Netherland Avenue in the Bronx (BIN 2086349); and a parking-structure inspection-report failure at 575 Midland Avenue on Staten Island (BIN 5045726). A congregation at 4722 12th Avenue in Brooklyn was cited for an enclosed structure built without a permit in a playground area, per BIN 3137190.
None of these violations has been adjudicated; all are listed as PENDING in DOB's ECB dataset, and the penalty amounts cited are proposed, not final, pending each scheduled hearing.
Separately, DOB's complaints-received log shows roughly 100 new complaints entered in the past two days across the five boroughs — a complaint alone is an unverified report, not a finding, and none of the complaints in that batch has yet produced a posted violation tied to these incidents.
Contractors working any of these addresses, or bonding work with these firms, can pull the full violation and hearing record through DOB NOW; hearing dates in this batch run from December 4 through December 16, 2026.
