1796 Vyse Avenue, Bronx, NY 10460

1796 Vyse Avenue is a 6-story, 53-unit residential building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Mark Bourbeau. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly with unsanitary conditions, as evidenced by multiple complaints about pests between late 2024 and early 2025, despite HPD inspections finding no violations. There have been several heat and hot water complaints in late 2024 and early 2025, though these were reportedly resolved.

A cluster of complaints in July 2024 from apartment S33 revealed notable maintenance concerns, including lead paint hazards, rodent infestations (specifically mice and roaches), plumbing issues, and the need for repairs to a bathtub and window guards. While some violations from this inspection were subsequently closed, others remain open as of 2025. The building's recent history shows a mix of building maintenance issues and regulatory compliance matters. An active violation exists regarding the display of energy efficiency scores as required by ADCODE.

The property has maintained a generally good record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past three years. Historical data shows rodent control efforts, particularly between 2017 and 2019, with some initial failures noted in inspections, though recent inspections in 2022 and 2019 passed. The building has undergone several tenant safety inspections in 2024 with no violations found. While many recent complaints have been addressed and closed, the persistence of certain maintenance issues, particularly in apartment S33, suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep and resident comfort.
