A construction worker was injured in a mechanical construction equipment incident at 1240 River Avenue in the Bronx on October 12, 2026, according to DOB Construction-Related Incidents records.
The Department of Buildings logged the event as Accident Report ID 46559, tied to Building Identification Number (BIN) 2131032. DOB's record classifies it under "Mechanical Construction Equipment" and reports one injury and zero fatalities.
The address sits on Block 2489, Lot 35, in zip code 10452 — Community District 204, City Council District 16. That's the Highbridge section of the Bronx, near Yankee Stadium.
DOB's incident dataset is the official record here; this piece draws directly from it and nothing beyond it. The record does not name the injured worker, the general contractor, or the specific equipment involved, and none of those details are speculated on here.
For contractors and site safety managers working in the Highbridge area, this is a reminder that DOB's incident log is public and searchable by BIN — worth checking before you price a job at an address with recent activity. Anyone with information relevant to the incident or seeking the underlying DOB filing can look up BIN 2131032 directly through DOB NOW or the Buildings Information System.
