New York City Comptroller Levine's office released the 2026 edition of its Employer Violations Dashboard on September 4, updating the public record of companies the city has cited for breaking labor law.

According to the announcement, the dashboard pulls together the violations the city has already found and proven against an employer — the kind of prevailing wage underpayments, safe-workplace citations, and wage-theft judgments the Comptroller's Bureau of Labor Law spends its year chasing down. It's a public, searchable list, live now at the Comptroller's site.

Here's why it should matter to you: under New York Labor Law 220, a contractor found to have willfully underpaid prevailing wage on one public job can get barred from bidding city and state work for up to five years. If you're teaming with a sub for an upcoming bid and that sub is sitting on the dashboard for exactly that kind of violation, you're not just picking a risky partner — you're potentially walking your own bid into the same scrutiny.

What used to take a FOIL request now takes five minutes. Run every sub you plan to name on a public solicitation through the dashboard before you submit, not after an agency flags it for you. And if your own shop's record is clean, it's worth pointing a GC to the dashboard yourself — a fast way to prove it without waiting on a reference call.
