906 Gerard Avenue, Bronx, NY 10452

The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 906 Gerard Avenue in the Concourse neighborhood, constructed in 1927 and currently owned by Joyce Sharpe, has experienced several concerning issues in recent years, particularly regarding heating systems. Most notably, there have been multiple heating and hot water complaints in late 2024 and early 2025, with three separate complaints filed in December 2024 and another in February 2025, all indicating building-wide problems.

These complaints were primarily related to inadequate heat and hot water, with HPD investigations often unable to gain access to units for verification. The building has also maintained an open bedbug reporting violation status since 2021, with multiple annual report filing deficiencies recorded between 2021 and 2024. The building's technical systems have faced significant scrutiny, particularly in 2019 when there were gas utility-related violations recorded against the property, including improper gas supply conditions that resulted in $6,250 in penalties, though these appear to have been addressed.

More recently, in 2023, there have been multiple active violations related to the failure to file required external low-pressure inspections between 2018 and 2021. While the building has generally passed rodent inspections in 2022 through 2025, there were documented instances of rat activity in 2022, though these appear to have been resolved through bait applications. The property has undergone various permitted works over the years, with permits issued in 2018-2020 for different types of work including plumbing and exterior maintenance, though the specific nature of these works is not detailed in the records.
