3467 Knox Place, Bronx, NY 10467

The 2-family house at 3467 Knox Place in Norwood, owned by Willodene Ketcham-robins, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues since 2019, with the most recent concerns continuing into 2025. The building, constructed in 1920, has ongoing rodent activity as evidenced by multiple bait applications throughout 2024-2025, with inspections in April 2025 continuing to show the need for intervention.

A recent heat/hot water complaint was logged and closed in April 2025, which was addressed according to HPD records. The building has a documented history of maintenance violations and unsanitary conditions. In 2021, three open violations were noted, including defective wooden stairs on the first story, broken glass in a window, and the requirement to repaint all surfaces in Apartment 2.

Prior to this, multiple complaints regarding pests and unsanitary conditions were recorded between 2019-2021, including issues with mold, inadequate smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and various repairs needed in Apartment 2 such as floor repairs, kitchen tile issues, and electrical concerns. While some violations from 2019-2021 have been marked as closed, the recurring nature of rodent treatments throughout 2024-2025 suggests ongoing pest control challenges. The building has made efforts to address these issues, as shown by the multiple bait applications and some resolution of earlier complaints, but the persistence of rodent activity remains a notable concern.
