1068 Gerard Avenue is an 11-story, 82-unit residential building constructed in 2007 and currently owned by Emrush Zeqaj. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly with its elevator system, which is currently the subject of multiple active complaints (2024-2025) regarding the lack of alternate service. Recent inspections in May 2025 revealed various issues including unsanitary conditions (mold, sewage), ventilation system problems, and plumbing concerns (toilet), though no housing law violations were identified.

The building has a history of heating system problems, with multiple complaints about heat/hot water issues in early 2025, and a significant incident in March 2025 where residents reported lack of heat and hot water, though conditions were reportedly restored by the time of inspection. Previous housing maintenance code violations have included issues with wall conditions and water leaks in Apartment 6E, and problems with heating systems in Apartment 11B. The building has undergone several facade inspections and elevator maintenance checks, with various violations related to elevator systems, including emergency phone issues and maintenance requirements.

While the building has consistently passed rodent inspections, there have been recurring problems requiring attention, particularly during 2024 and 2025. The property has shown some improvement in pest management, as recent bedbug reports from 2021-2024 indicate no infestations. Multiple active violations related to external low pressure inspections from 2019-2020 remain unresolved as of June 2023, and there was a period of defective concrete sidewalk conditions noted in 2023.
