547 Ellsworth Avenue, Bronx, NY 10465

547 Ellsworth Avenue in Throgs Neck is a three-story, two-family residential building constructed in 2001 and currently owned by Michael Delligatti. The property has experienced several concerning issues in 2023, particularly between April and July, with a cluster of complaints regarding an unmaintained swimming pool generating multiple reports of standing water between April 26 and April 30.

These swimming pool maintenance issues led to inspections, with at least one summons being issued to the owner. The building has also faced pest control challenges, with documented rat sightings in April 2023 prompting health department inspections and follow-up requirements. In addition to the water and pest issues, there were complaints regarding unsanitary garbage/recycling storage conditions that were investigated and closed by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development after verification of corrections.

The property has been the subject of multiple illegal conversion complaints between April 20 and July 31, 2023, with one resulting in a partial vacate order being served. While the Department of Buildings conducted inspections of these complaints between July 27-31 and determined that no violations were warranted at the time of inspection, the frequency and variety of complaints within this three-month period suggest ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges. The most recent documented issues as of July 2025 involve an in-progress Department of Health and Mental Hygiene investigation regarding the swimming pool maintenance situation, which remains unresolved over one year later.
