A construction worker fell at 4660 Broadway in Washington Heights, Manhattan, on October 26, according to Department of Buildings records.
The DOB's Construction-Related Incidents dataset logs the event as an accident under the category "Worker Fell," with one injury recorded and no fatality. The record lists the building identification number as 1091815, in block 2175, lot 1, ZIP code 10040.
The address sits in Manhattan Community District 112 and City Council District 10, per the DOB record. The agency's incident dataset does not include a narrative of how the fall happened, the worker's condition, or what if any enforcement action followed, and no cause has been determined in the public record reviewed for this piece.
DOB's construction-incident data typically posts several days after an event, so this record represents the agency's first public accounting of what happened. Any follow-up findings — stop-work orders, violations, or classification changes — would appear in DOB's separate violations and complaints databases under the same BIN.
For context on volume, DOB's Complaints Received dataset logged 100 new complaints citywide in the two days before this report, spanning categories from boiler issues to electrical and elevator complaints across all five boroughs. None of those complaints are connected to the Broadway incident; they are cited here only to show the scale of routine complaint activity DOB processes in a typical week.
