1904 Vyse Avenue, Bronx, NY 10460

1904 Vyse Avenue is a 9-story, 96-unit residential building constructed in 2005, currently managed by Peter Fine. The building has experienced persistent maintenance issues in recent years, particularly between May and June 2025, with multiple unsanitary conditions reported including mold and pest infestations, as well as water leaks and various plumbing issues. Housing Maintenance Code violations from late 2024 and early 2025 indicate problems with multiple bathrooms, doors, and electrical systems, while all units show evidence of maintenance being addressed through official compliance procedures. The building's elevator system has been the subject of multiple complaints and violations between 2021 and 2022, with various mechanical and safety issues documented.

In terms of environmental conditions, there have been active facade maintenance violations as of 2022, with cracked bricks and stucco reported, and while bedbug reports show a significant reduction in infestations in recent years (with no reports between 2022 and 2024), historical data shows volatile pest management challenges from 2019 to 2021. The building's rodent inspection results have been mixed, with several failed inspections in 2016-2017, though recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have passed. The property has faced regular scrutiny regarding its elevator system, with multiple violations related to safety equipment and maintenance requirements between 2019 and 2022, though many of these have been resolved. A notable pattern of plumbing and water-related issues has emerged in 2025, with multiple emergency maintenance requests recorded.

Various building systems have experienced documented issues over time, including electrical systems (with multiple outlet cover violations), security systems (intercom and door violations), and interior maintenance challenges such as paint and plaster damage. The building's management has generally responded to violations through official certification processes, though there have been instances of inspection access issues noted in HPD reports. The property's recent maintenance history (2024-2025) shows ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance response times, though there is evidence of active management addressing violations when possible. Historical data from 2019-2023 indicates previous issues with heat/hot water systems and general maintenance, with varying degrees of resolution. The building's age (20 years as of 2025) suggests it is experiencing typical wear and tear patterns, though the concentration of recent complaints indicates some ongoing maintenance challenges requiring attention.
