INTERSTATE WINDOW CORP. DBA MANNIX
According to U.S. Department of Labor enforcement records, INTERSTATE WINDOW CORP. DBA MANNIX — a industry sector 00 facility located at 345 CROOKED HILL RD., BRENTWOOD, NY 11717 — was the subject of a formal OSHA inspection that resulted in 55 citation(s) and cumulative proposed penalties of $75,950.00. The inspection case was opened on 1995-02-07.
Federal investigators determined that one or more violations at this facility were committed willfully — meaning the employer either knowingly failed to comply with OSHA standards or acted with plain indifference to employee safety. Willful violations carry the highest penalty multipliers under the OSH Act.
Industry Benchmark: The total penalty of $75,950.00 is more than 63.5× the national average of $1,195.75 for facilities in the Other sector (NAICS 000000). This sector encompasses 1,316,687 inspected facilities nationwide with aggregate penalties totaling $1,574.4M.
State Context: Within NY, this facility's penalty places it at the 100th percentile among 140,736 inspected facilities. The statewide average penalty is $2,208.33.
Citation Analysis: The inspection produced 55 citations spanning 12 distinct OSHA regulatory standards. The citation breakdown includes: 2 serious — A workplace hazard that could cause death or serious physical harm exists, and the employer knew or should have known about the condition. 2 willful — The employer intentionally and knowingly committed the violation, demonstrating either an intentional disregard for the requirements of the OSH Act or plain indifference to employee safety and health. 6 repeat — A substantially similar violation was found during a previous inspection and the original citation has become a final order. 5 other-than-serious — The violation has a direct relationship to job safety and health but is unlikely to cause death or serious physical harm.
Enforcement Timeline: Citations were issued beginning August 3, 1995 with the latest abatement deadline set for September 20, 1995. Of the 55 total citations, 4 (7%) have been marked as abated in DOL records, which may indicate ongoing compliance gaps requiring further regulatory attention.
Penalty Assessment: The cumulative penalty of $75,950.00 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 $1,380.91 falls within the standard penalty range.
The enforcement profile for Interstate Window Corp. reveals a deeply entrenched culture of non-compliance, characterized by a staggering 55 citations and a penalty total far exceeding industry norms for the mid-1990s. The presence of multiple willful and repeat violations signifies a systemic failure by management to rectify known hazards, moving the facility's risk profile from negligent to potentially criminal in the event of a fatality. The willful citation under 1910.36(b)(4) for obstructed or locked exits is particularly egregious, representing a conscious disregard for life safety and fire protection that could result in mass casualty events. This was compounded by a willful violation of noise monitoring standards, suggesting a deliberate omission of health surveillance programs.
