1562 Vyse Avenue, Bronx, NY 10460

1562 Vyse Avenue is a 21-unit, five-story residential building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Christopher Crandon. The property has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns occurring in 2025, including problems with doors/windows, smoke detectors, and unsanitary conditions (pests). These complaints received emergency classifications but were closed due to lack of access for inspection.

The building has persistent issues with pest infestations, with multiple complaints spanning from 2019 through 2025, including significant incidents in apartment 5B in late 2019 that involved bedbugs, mice, and various maintenance violations. Recent inspections as of July 2024 have identified three open B-class violations regarding unauthorized roof bulkhead door modifications, a motion sensor light fixture issue, and missing floor plan posting related to means of egress. The building's systems and maintenance history show a mix of resolved and ongoing concerns.

A heat/hot water complaint from January 2024 was verified as corrected within two days, and there have been multiple door/window-related issues, including a window frame problem reported in 2024. The property has maintained good rodent control, passing regular inspections from 2015 to 2022, though there was a rat activity report in July 2011. Bedbug reporting has improved recently, with no active infestations reported in the past three filing periods (2022-2025). The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to violations and complaints, though access issues for inspections have been a recurring theme in recent years, particularly for safety-related concerns like smoke detectors and door security.
