1773 Vyse Avenue, Bronx, NY 10460

1773 Vyse Avenue, a 27-unit, 5-story residential building constructed in 1918 in East Morrisania, currently faces persistent heating and maintenance challenges under the ownership of Paul Stein. The building has experienced multiple heat and hot water issues in 2025, with three emergency complaints in January and February reporting inadequate heat or hot water, and another emergency complaint in April 2025. Violation notices were issued for heat and hot water problems in December 2024, affecting apartments 3 and 23.

The property has also received recent violations for various maintenance issues, including defective door frames and unsanitary conditions related to pests (March 2025), with additional violations for plaster and paint issues, plumbing problems, and janitorial concerns. The building's mechanical systems and security features have been under scrutiny, with a notice of violation in December 2023 for failing to provide access to the heating system, resulting in a $250 fine. Previous inspections revealed concerns about unusable construction debris in 2020, though this violation was resolved.

While the property has generally maintained compliance with rodent inspections, with the most recent passing inspection in 2022, there were notable periods of rat activity in 2016. The building's management has filed regular bedbug reports since 2021, consistently showing zero infestation cases, and there have been no recent environmental control board violations related to bedbugs. The Department of Buildings records indicate some historical issues with egress and drainage that were ultimately found to have no violations at the time of inspection.
