2122 Vyse Avenue, Bronx, NY 10460

2122 Vyse Avenue is a three-story, two-family residential building located in the West Farms neighborhood, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Mohanlal Balgobin. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past decade, with the most recent being electrical safety concerns in 2023 that resulted in penalties totaling $4,800 from the Environmental Control Board for defective wiring conditions in the basement. These electrical violations followed a "Stop Work Order" in June 2023 but were eventually resolved.

The building has a history of code violations and maintenance issues, particularly in 2012 and 2008. In 2008, there were multiple violations in the first-floor apartment including problems with bedbugs, illegal living space use, and improper plumbing connections, though these were subsequently closed. The third-floor apartment experienced several maintenance issues in 2012, including the need for carbon monoxide detectors and repairs to kitchen fixtures, all of which were resolved by October 2022. The building's common areas have also faced challenges, with open violations from December 2022 regarding household items blocking the scuttle door to the roof on the third floor, and a closed violation concerning self-closing doors on the first story.

Recent records from 2024-2025 indicate improvement in certain areas; there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past year, and a rodent inspection in January 2025 showed compliance (passed). However, the building's history shows periodic rodent activity, with several baiting operations conducted between 2018 and 2020. The property has undergone various maintenance and compliance challenges over the years, with the pattern suggesting recurring issues with building code compliance and safety requirements, particularly regarding electrical systems and pest control. The most recent inspection records indicate some positive developments, with certain historical violations now resolved, though the building's age and history suggest ongoing maintenance requirements are likely.
