2074 Vyse Avenue, Bronx, NY 10460

2074 Vyse Avenue is a 4-story, 8-unit tenement building located in West Farms, built in 1909 and currently owned by Jorge Ruiz. The property has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years, with the most recent service request in early 2023 addressing a window frame problem that required HPD intervention.

A significant cluster of complaints emerged in mid-2022, primarily affecting a basement apartment, including reports of ceiling paint issues, pest infestations, and a slow water leak. These conditions triggered multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, particularly in the basement apartment (BASEME), where violations were issued for problems including mouse infestation, missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, broken plaster surfaces, and water leak issues. While some of these violations were eventually closed, several remain open as of the latest reports.

The building's maintenance history shows ongoing challenges with pest control, as evidenced by the most recent rodent inspections in early 2025 showing rat activity, following a similar result in late 2017 and multiple instances of bait application in 2016. However, the building has maintained a consistent record of being bedbug-free for the past several years, with no reported infestations in annual filings since 2019. The building's overall condition shows some improvements in recent years, with fewer complaints about major systems or structural issues, though the persistent rodent activity noted in 2025 raises ongoing concerns about maintenance and sanitation standards.
