3454 Ely Avenue, Bronx, NY 10469

The 2-family house at 3454 Ely Avenue in Eastchester, owned by John Odusote, has a documented history of sanitation and heating/hot water issues between 2021 and 2025. Most notably, there have been three recent complaints (2024-2025) regarding unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage, with the most recent incident resulting in HPD violations that are currently under correction review as of May 2025.

The building experienced significant heating system problems in November 2021, when multiple complaints were filed regarding inadequate heat/hot water, affecting both the entire building and individual apartments. These incidents were classified as emergencies, with some resulting in violations, though one complaint was noted as a duplicate of another tenant's report. Additional building concerns include an illegal conversion complaint filed in December 2021, which required two inspection attempts in May 2022, though the inspector was unable to gain access to verify the reported condition.

The property's maintenance history suggests recurring issues with waste management and building systems, particularly regarding heating infrastructure and garbage storage practices. The most recent sanitation violation from 2024-2025 remains active as of the latest available data, indicating ongoing challenges with proper waste management in the building. While HPD has conducted inspections and issued violations in response to multiple complaints, the resolution process for these issues appears to vary, with some complaints resulting in violations while others were closed without violations being found.
