1933 Vyse Avenue, Bronx, NY 10460

1933 Vyse Avenue is a 3-unit, 3-story residential building constructed in 2002 and currently owned by Teresa Castanos. The building experienced significant maintenance issues in late 2019, with multiple reports of plumbing problems involving bathtubs/showers, including two emergency complaints and three non-emergency complaints between October and December 2019. During this period, there was also an electrical power outage in December 2019 that resulted in violations being issued.

A comprehensive inspection on December 15, 2019, revealed several critical violations in the third-floor apartment (Apartment 3), including issues with roach infestation, missing window guards, inoperable smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, unsafe electrical wiring, leaky bathroom fixtures, and inadequate electrical service supply. These violations were subsequently addressed and closed between January and March 2020. The building's recent history shows improved conditions, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past three years (2021-2024), as indicated by the annual bedbug reporting requirements.

The most recent rodent inspection in January 2025 resulted in a passing grade, continuing a pattern of successful inspections dating back to 2013. Two bedbug reports from 2020-2021 indicated the eradication of three units, though subsequent reports show no active infestations. The building had a complaint regarding illegal conversion in November 2019, but this was determined to warrant no violation upon inspection. While the 2019-2020 period showed several maintenance issues, subsequent years have demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements and successful rodent inspections, suggesting improved building conditions.
