The Department of Buildings issued five active violations on September 14 against Rogers Developers Grp LLC at 311 Rogers Avenue in Brooklyn, all served the same day and all still pending hearings, according to DOB ECB violation records.

Two of the five trace back to workers getting hurt. Per DOB records, inspectors responded to an incident in which "a worker was struck by a channel beam" after two workers pushing an A-frame dolly loaded with channel beams lost control of it because of a liquid substance on the ground — that's violation 39559149Z, a Class 2 citation carrying a $5,000 penalty for failing to safeguard people and property affected by construction operations under BC 3301.2. A second violation from the same visit, 39559155P ($5,000, Class 1), cites workers standing on top of two paint buckets to cover windows with plastic, described as a failure to provide and maintain adequate safety measures.

The other three violations at the address, all issued the same day, describe a baker's scaffold on the 8th floor with no outriggers to keep it from falling (39559157Z, Class 2, $2,500) and a fire hydrant across the street with a hose connected but no backflow valve installed, flagged under DOB rule 15 RCNY 20-08(D) — a citation whose penalty amount was cut off in the source record.

None of the violations has gone to hearing. All five list "PENDING" hearing status, with hearing dates scheduled between November 18 and November 25, 2026, according to DOB records. The five citations total at least $17,500 in proposed penalties against the respondent, none of it paid as of the September 14 service date.

DOB's public violation database does not identify who was injured, the extent of any injuries, or whether the channel-beam incident triggered a stop-work order — the record here is limited to the violations themselves. Readers should check the DOB Building Information System for BIN 3107778 for any related stop-work order or subsequent enforcement action.

For contractors bidding or subcontracting on multi-story new-building work in Brooklyn, this is a reminder that ECB penalties escalate fast when safety citations stack at one address — five violations in a day at one site is the kind of pattern that draws additional agency attention, and hearing dates in November mean the respondent has roughly two months to resolve or contest before penalties become final.
