530 Ellsworth Avenue, Bronx, NY 10465

530 Ellsworth Avenue, a 21-unit, 2-story residential building constructed in 1982 in Throgs Neck and owned by Brendan Sullivan, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety incidents over recent years. The building underwent major structural impacts in late 2019, including a fire that affected multiple apartments (D1, D2, D3, and E1, E2 & E3), resulting in violations for damaged fire-stopping and drywall, as well as exposed plumbing and electrical lines that required permit remediation.

The building faced multiple safety inspections in 2020-2021, including a tenant safety inspection that resulted in a Stop Work Order, though records indicate compliance was eventually achieved. More recent concerns include a sewage odor complaint in 2022 that prompted a Department of Health advisory, and active violations as of 2023-2024 related to unfiled external low-pressure and boiler inspections. The property has consistently filed its annual bedbug reports between 2022-2024 with no reported infestations or re-infestations, though it received multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2020-2024 for failing to submit annual bedbug reports in previous years.

Other building issues have included multiple complaints and violations regarding construction work in 2020, damaged roof decking repairs, and problems with fire retardant materials in public areas. The property has maintained good rodent control, passing inspections as of 2019. While the building experienced significant safety and maintenance issues following the 2019 fire, more recent records show improved compliance with bedbug reporting requirements and other maintenance obligations, though several active violations regarding safety inspections remain.
