Record 1: ECB Violation #39555443L — Construction Site Safety / Public Protection
What the source record says
The public description for BIN 2042899, Bronx, NY states: “DURING INSPECTION OF A NEW 4-STORY RESIDENTIAL BUILDING, IT WAS OBSERVED THAT REQUIRED PEDESTRIAN PROTECTION WAS NOT PROPERLY MAINTAINED. JERSEY BARRIERS NOT FILLED WITH WATER OR SAND WERE NOT INTERLOCKED, RESU” Because the inspector identified a location within the premises, photos and repair proof should match that same area. Site-safety proof should be dated because DOB focuses on conditions at the inspection time.
What this category usually means
This category concerns construction-site safety, public protection, watchperson requirements, guardrails, fences, sheds, sidewalk protection, or access controls.
What a hearing on this record may have focused on
The hearing may examine whether required protection was in place at the inspection time and whether the cited party controlled the work.
Documents and proof worth reviewing now
- site safety logs
- protection photos
- contractor daily reports
- permits
- watchperson records
Why this should not be ignored
Site-safety hearings can involve large penalties because DOB treats public and worker protection as urgent.
