828 Gerard Avenue, Bronx, NY 10451
The 54-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement building at 828 Gerard Avenue in the Concourse neighborhood, owned by James Simari, has experienced recurring maintenance issues since its construction in 1924. The most recent concerns include a broken window guard reported in April 2025, which HPD was unable to inspect, and heat/hot water issues affecting the entire building in December 2024. The building has faced persistent heating system problems, with multiple heat/hot water complaints logged in 2020-2022.
A significant cluster of maintenance issues emerged in May 2021, including electrical problems (lightning and outlet issues), door concerns, and flooring issues, resulting in some violations being issued. The building's maintenance history shows attention to pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past three years (2022-2025), though there were rodent activity reports in 2023. Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021-2022 included problems in basement apartment BDBASE, such as electrical fixture issues, pest infestations, and door lock problems, though these were eventually certified as corrected.
More recently, violations related to external low-pressure inspection filings were issued in 2023 but were later dismissed. The building has maintained a generally positive track record with rodent inspections, passing most recent checks in 2024-2025. While the building has experienced various maintenance challenges, the property management has addressed many issues appropriately, though some recurring problems, particularly with heating systems, have persisted over the years.
