  • Construction

    Issued Jul 16, 2026 — STRUCTURE RENDERED NON COMPLIANT AT TIME OF INSPECTION. TWO SUPPORT BEAMS OF SIDEWALK SHED LOCATED AT FRONT OF GARAGE EXPOSURE ONE WERE DISLODGED DUE TO CAR IMPACT

A violation is a notice the Department of Buildings recorded against the building. It is not a judgment, and many concern paperwork rather than safety. Open means the agency has not recorded a resolution, which is not the same as the problem still existing. From NYC Department of Buildings, DOB Violations (3h2n-5cm9), accessed Sep 4, 2026.
