FORDHAM, The Bronx (WABC) -- A suspected illegal cannabis grow house containing 30 marijuana plants was discovered in a Marion Avenue apartment in the Bronx when a city marshal was carrying out an eviction, according to the New York City Sheriff's Office. Residents of the building said the odor coming from the apartment had been overwhelming for months, with some fearing it posed a safety risk. "Not safe for the building - the whole building gotta be smelling that," one resident said. Another resident said, "I'm thinking that there was a dead corpse here somewhere - when I find out it's a freaking drug lab yo! "Authorities confiscated 30 cannabis plants from the apartment. Neighbors said the operation appeared extensive despite being run out of a small unit. Evelyn Arredondo, who lives next door to the apartment, said she had previously reported concerns about the smell to the Fire Department of New York. "Itch my throat, my eyes and my nose. And just I called the fire department - you know - I said maybe there's gas around but they didn't find nothing," Arredondo said. FDNY crews returned Monday with hazardous materials trucks after the grow operation was discovered.
