2077 Vyse Avenue, Bronx, NY 10460

2077 Vyse Avenue is a 4-story, 8-unit New Law tenement building located in the West Farms neighborhood, built in 1910 and currently owned by Joseph Soleimani. The property has experienced persistent heat and hot water issues throughout early 2025, with multiple complaints filed between January and March 2025, affecting both entire building and individual apartments. While most of these complaints were addressed promptly, they indicate an ongoing challenge with basic building systems.

In late 2024, several significant maintenance violations were documented, including issues with self-closing doors, fire egress concerns, and unauthorized living spaces with improper plumbing connections in the cellar area. The building has also faced structural concerns, with violations recorded in 2022 related to cracked masonry on the exterior walls, though these were subsequently resolved. Notable safety violations from 2024 include a penalty for occupancy contrary to allowed use, specifically regarding an illegally created basement apartment with full bathroom and kitchen facilities. The building's bedbug reporting history from 2019 to 2024 shows no infestations, and recent rodent inspections in 2016-2025 demonstrate generally good pest control, with only one instance of rat activity noted in 2016.

The property has undergone various improvements and addressed multiple violations over time, including recent compliance with posting floor signs in public areas and resolving specific maintenance issues. Historical complaints and violations dating back to 2022-2024 show a pattern of addressing issues through both HPD and Department of Buildings interventions, though the frequency of recent heat-related complaints suggests ongoing system challenges. The building's occupancy records indicate regular inspections and reporting requirements have been met, with no significant recent violations related to bedbugs, and only minimal rodent-related concerns in recent years. The property appears to have a stable tenancy history, with consistent efforts to resolve violations and complaints as they arise, though recent heating system issues merit continued monitoring.
