The Department of Buildings logged two construction-related incidents with injuries in the past two days, one in Manhattan and one in Queens, according to DOB's Construction-Related Incidents dataset.
In Manhattan, DOB recorded an incident on September 24 at 125 Columbus Avenue (BIN 1028159, Block 1118, Lot 1, ZIP 10023), on the Upper West Side. The record type is listed as "Incident" with a check description of "Mechanical Construction Equipment." DOB's record shows one injury and no fatality. The address falls within Manhattan Community District 107 and City Council District 6.
In Queens, DOB recorded an accident on September 23 at 350 St. Nicholas Avenue (BIN 4624518, Block 3445, Lot 27, ZIP 11385). The record type is listed as "Accident" with a check description of "Other Construction Related." DOB's record shows one injury and no fatality. The address falls within Queens Community District 405 and City Council District 34.
DOB has not released narrative details beyond these classification fields for either record, and the department's incident dataset does not identify contractors, owners, or the individuals hurt. Neither record includes a determination of cause.
Separately, DOB's Complaints Received dataset logged 100 new complaints citywide over the same two-day window, spanning categories from illegal conversions to elevator and boiler issues across all five boroughs — routine volume that provides context on inspection activity but is not connected to either incident above.
Contractors working active jobs at or near these two addresses should expect DOB follow-up activity is possible at a site once an incident report is filed; anyone with permits open at 125 Columbus Avenue or 350 St. Nicholas Avenue can check current job status and any resulting violations through DOB's Building Information Search using the BINs listed above.
