A Worker Fell on East 42nd Street. DOB Logged No Injury.

A worker fell at 219 East 42nd Street in Manhattan on September 25, according to a DOB Construction-Related Incidents record filed the same week.

The record lists the incident type as "Worker Fell" and records zero fatalities and zero injuries under the incident's fatality and injury fields. The building carries BIN 1037551, block 1316, lot 12, in ZIP code 10017 — Manhattan Community District 106, City Council District 4.

DOB's incident dataset logs the event as a reportable construction-related incident; the department has not published any accompanying violation, complaint, or stop-work action tied to this specific report as of this writing.

Separately, DOB's complaints-received data shows the department logged 100 new complaints citywide in the two days spanning September 25 and 26, spread across all five boroughs and covering categories from elevator conditions to illegal conversions to plumbing. That volume is offered here only as routine citywide context — none of those complaints are connected to the East 42nd Street incident, and a complaint entry is an unverified allegation, not a finding.

For contractors and site safety managers working in the East 42nd Street corridor, or on any job where DOB has an open incident file, the practical takeaway is the same as always: a zero-fatality, zero-injury "Worker Fell" entry still triggers DOB reportability and can precede a closer look at a site's fall-protection compliance. Anyone with work near BIN 1037551 should check the DOB Building Information System for that BIN directly before bidding or scheduling adjacent work, since incident records can predate posted violations by days.

DOB's Building Information System (a bin/address lookup at Buildings NYC) carries the authoritative, updated record for BIN 1037551 and is the place to confirm whether any follow-up violation or order has since been issued.
