I live in a building with new construction (constant jackhammering) going on next door. Is there anything I can do? I primarily WFH and I can’t even take a call without everyone asking about the background noise.

Nope. Sorry. (This is curt and trite, but also true.)

Nothing you can do. This is city life. You'll either have to hoof it to the office, or get some co-working space for yourself to get away from the noise.

After you live in NYC long enough you stop noticing jackhammers and chain saws.

The jackhammer is <50 feet from my window - it’s hard not to notice. Understand that it looks like nothing can be done though.

Maybe WeWork or something? But certainly not the some as wfh

The lease goes until September - I didn’t know about the construction until it started.

There is typically a rider as part of the lease agreement that says the landlord is not liable for noise and/or inconvenience due to construction nearby. However you can ask your landlord if you wish to move out and term the lease earlier
