928 Gerard Avenue, Bronx, NY 10452

The 3-story, 8-unit tenement building at 928 Gerard Avenue in the Concourse neighborhood was built in 1925 and is currently owned by Rick Herman. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent months, with multiple complaints about heat and hot water problems, including an open unsanitary condition complaint regarding garbage/recycling storage from June 2025 and several heat-related complaints in May 2025 that could not be properly assessed due to access issues.

A significant set of violations was documented between late 2024 and early 2025, including failed inspections related to heating systems, water temperature, and pest control issues in apartment 1A, which faced problems with both mice and roaches. The building's boiler system has been a particular point of concern, with multiple complaints and inspection attempts showing either defects or access issues, and a 2019 violation remained active regarding the failure to file the 2017 boiler inspection report. The property has undergone various inspections and repairs over the past years, with the Department of Buildings noting several issues between 2021-2022 regarding work without permits, though most of these complaints were closed with no violations warranted upon inspection.

While the building has passed multiple rodent inspections between 2022 and 2025, there was one recorded instance of rat activity in May 2022. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since 2021, with no reported cases of infestation or re-infestation in any dwelling units. Recent maintenance records show active attention to various building issues, with multiple work permits issued between 2020 and 2022 for different types of repairs, including electrical work and alternate heating systems.
