A Worker Fell in College Point. DOB's Record Stops There.

A worker fell at a construction site in College Point, Queens on October 31, and another worker was hurt in a separate incident in the Financial District the day before, according to DOB Construction-Related Incidents records.

The Queens incident, logged as accident report No. 46633, was recorded at 131-28 40 Road, a building with BIN 4114953 on block 5060, lot 53, zip code 11354. DOB's record type description lists it as an "Incident" with the check description "Worker Fell," and the record shows one injury and no fatality.

The Manhattan incident, accident report No. 46625, was recorded a day earlier at 77 Water Street, BIN 1000863, block 33, lot 1, zip code 10005, in the Financial District. DOB's record describes it under the category "Other Construction Related" and also lists one injury and no fatality.

Neither record identifies the injured workers, the companies working at either site, or the circumstances beyond the category descriptions DOB assigns. The records do not state a cause.

Separately, DOB's Complaints Received dataset logged 100 new construction-related complaints citywide over the same two-day window, spanning all five boroughs and covering categories from elevator safety (unit ELEVR) to illegal conversions and site-safety issues (unit SPOPS). That volume reflects the department's routine daily complaint intake and is not connected to either incident above — a complaint is an unverified report, not a confirmed violation or incident.

DOB had not posted any additional detail on either incident — such as a related violation, stop-work order, or enforcement action — as of this writing.

What to do next

Contractors and site safety managers working near either address — 131-28 40 Road in College Point or 77 Water Street in the Financial District — can check DOB's Building Information System (BIS) or DOB NOW for any permits, violations, or stop-work orders tied to BIN 4114953 or BIN 1000863 before scheduling work in the area. DOB's incident and complaint datasets update on a lag, so a cleared search today does not rule out a record posting later this week.
