FRED TEITELBAUM CONSTRUCTION COMPANY

According to U.S. Department of Labor enforcement records, FRED TEITELBAUM CONSTRUCTION COMPANY — a industry sector 00 facility located at 645 N. KINGSBURY STREET, CHICAGO, IL 60610 — was the subject of a formal OSHA inspection that resulted in 22 citation(s) and cumulative proposed penalties of $151,000.00. The inspection case was opened on 1998-07-13.

Cumulative penalties significantly exceed the national median for OSHA enforcement actions. The penalty amount suggests multiple high-gravity citations, indicating conditions that presented a substantial probability of death or serious physical harm to employees.

State Context: Within IL, this facility's penalty places it at the 100th percentile among 88,899 inspected facilities. The statewide average penalty is $3,496.90.

Citation Analysis: The inspection produced 22 citations spanning 10 distinct OSHA regulatory standards. The citation breakdown includes: 11 serious — A workplace hazard that could cause death or serious physical harm exists, and the employer knew or should have known about the condition. 3 other-than-serious — The violation has a direct relationship to job safety and health but is unlikely to cause death or serious physical harm. 1 repeat — A substantially similar violation was found during a previous inspection and the original citation has become a final order.

Enforcement Timeline: Citations were issued beginning November 16, 1998 with the latest abatement deadline set for February 4, 1999. Of the 22 total citations, 7 (32%) have been marked as abated in DOL records, which may indicate ongoing compliance gaps requiring further regulatory attention.

Penalty Assessment: The cumulative penalty of $151,000.00 reflects OSHA's gravity-based penalty calculation methodology, which considers the severity of potential injury, the probability of occurrence, the employer's size, good faith, and violation history. The per-citation average of $6,863.64 falls within the standard penalty range.
