3435 Knox Place, Bronx, NY 10467

3435 Knox Place is a 54-unit, 6-story residential building constructed in 1949 and currently owned by Richard Lansky. The property has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most recent complaints in March 2025 involving water leaks, paint and plaster problems with walls and ceilings, and plumbing issues in bathtubs/showers. These complaints were investigated by HPD, with some resulting in violations that require the owner to make necessary corrections.

Prior to this, between November 2023 and May 2024, there were multiple complaints about paint/plaster issues (walls and ceilings), plumbing problems, and flooring concerns, though HPD was unable to gain access to inspect some of these conditions. The building has had a history of various maintenance challenges, including a cluster of issues in 2023 affecting apartment 4J, which included problems with self-closing doors, pest infestation (roaches), and mold in the bathroom. Past violations of note include several Class A violations from 2024 related to carbon monoxide detector requirements, improper notice postings, and an unauthorized alteration concerning a sealed compactor closet.

The property has also faced issues with property documentation compliance, including an active violation from June 2023 regarding failure to file the 2018 External Low Pressure Inspection. On a positive note, the building has maintained a consistent record of successful rodent inspections, with the most recent inspections in 2023 and 2024 passing. The bedbug reports from 2020-2024 show minimal infestations, with only one unit (in 2020) affected during this period, and none reported in the past three filings. While the property has numerous maintenance issues and violations, most have been addressed or closed, though some recent violations from 2025 are still pending correction.
