1531 Vyse Avenue, Bronx, NY 10460
1531 Vyse Avenue, a 3-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1901 in East Morrisania, currently owned by Karam Rai, is facing several significant maintenance challenges as of mid-2024. The most pressing issues involve the first-floor apartment (1F), where multiple violations have been documented, including pest infestations (specifically roaches and flies), water leaks affecting the bathroom ceiling, and problems with multiple window components including broken panes and defective spring balances. These violations have been classified as Class B and C, indicating varying levels of urgency, with some remaining open as of June 2024.
The building has also experienced recurring pest problems, as evidenced by multiple Housing Maintenance Code complaints regarding pests between 2024 and 2023, though recent bedbug reports for the periods from 2020 to 2024 show no infestations. Additional concerns include multiple violations related to the bulkhead skylight area as of February 2024, specifically regarding missing skylight installation, blocked natural sunlight, and ventilation issues. The building's history shows a pattern of pest-related complaints, with 13 service requests regarding unsanitary conditions and pests recorded in a single day in June 2024.
The property has undergone rodent inspections between 2015 and 2022, with only two instances of rat activity detected in late 2022, while most inspections resulted in "Passed" ratings. Previous complaints from 2019 regarding an electric/gas range were resolved with no violations issued. While the building has had some maintenance issues, particularly in recent years, it's worth noting that many recent complaints have been addressed relatively quickly, with most being resolved within days of being reported through the 311 system.
