Two construction workers were injured in separate Brooklyn accidents two days apart, according to Department of Buildings incident records.
The first was reported October 5 at 1720 Sheepshead Bay Road in Brooklyn, zip code 11235, where DOB's Construction-Related Incidents dataset lists the accident type as "Worker Fell." The record shows one injury and no fatality. The building carries BIN 3247005, and the incident is logged under accident report number 46544.
The second was reported the same day, October 5, at 27 Bridge Street in Brooklyn, zip code 11201 — BIN 3000014. DOB's record classifies it as "Other Construction Related" and lists one injury, no fatality, under accident report number 46540.
DOB's incident dataset does not include a narrative cause for either accident beyond the check-description field, and no DOB violation or stop-work order tied to either address appears in the records reviewed for this report. Both remain open entries in the agency's incident log as of this writing.
For contractors working either site or nearby, DOB incident filings are a leading indicator — a fall or an "other construction related" entry often precedes a safety inspection sweep of the block. Firms with active permits near Sheepshead Bay Road or Bridge Street should expect DOB attention and keep site safety logs current.
