5470 Post Road, Bronx, NY 10471

This two-story, three-unit building located at 5470 Post Road in North Riverdale, owned by Brendan Osullivan, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past three years (2023-2025). The most pressing concerns involve recurring heat and hot water problems, with emergencies reported in December 2024 and March 2024, plus multiple heat-related complaints in 2024. The building has also faced multiple water-related issues, including heavy flow and slow leaks in August 2024, which resulted in HPD violations.

Apartment 2 appears to be the most affected unit, with several documented violations from 2023-2024, including issues with water leaks affecting the ceiling, defective plastered surfaces, plumbing problems, appliances, and a ventilation system. The unit has documented violations related to an infestation of flies, the need for carbon monoxide detector repairs, and multiple repair needs including window mechanisms, door locks, and bathroom fixtures. Inspection records reveal both open and closed violations, with some notable issues remaining unresolved as of 2023.

These include problems with plaster surfaces, roof leaks affecting the ceiling, window mechanisms, door security, and bathroom fixtures. While the building has maintained bedbug-free status for the past three reporting periods (2021-2023), the pattern of maintenance issues, particularly with essential services like heat/hot water and water infrastructure, suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep and resident comfort. The property, built in 1950, has been subject to regular HPD inspections and complaints, with most issues being addressed through closure of complaints, though some violations remain open as of the latest available records.
