825 Gerard Avenue, Bronx, NY 10451
825 Gerard Avenue is a 6-story, 84-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1928, currently owned by Ved Parkash. The building has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues in recent years, most notably a pattern of heat and hot water complaints in 2025, with multiple emergency service requests indicating persistent problems with building systems. An inspection of apartment 6L in December 2024 revealed several violations, including issues with carbon monoxide detectors, mold conditions, hot water supply, and various maintenance concerns that were subsequently certified for correction in early 2025.
The building's infrastructure has been a particular area of concern, with multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) violations ongoing as of 2025. These include serious structural issues such as step cracking in brickwork, problems with window sills, and concerns about the chimney structure. The property has also faced repeated elevator service interruptions, with multiple violations for lacking alternate service during repairs. Recent sidewalk and scaffolding violations suggest ongoing facade maintenance work, with multiple ECB violations related to expired permits and safety concerns.
Additionally, there are persistent reports of rodent activity, with multiple inspections throughout 2024 and early 2025 confirming the presence of rats. While the building's management has taken steps to address some violations and system failures, as evidenced by recent certifications of correction, the frequency and variety of maintenance issues, particularly regarding building systems and structural elements, indicate ongoing challenges in maintaining acceptable living conditions. The property has maintained a bedbug-free record for the past three reporting periods, though there was one reported case in 2020 that was resolved. The most recent building permits suggest some ongoing work, particularly related to elevator systems and building repairs, with one permit currently in process as of October 2024.
