NEIGHBORS ALERTED THE Norwood News to this home at 306 East 206th St. that’s become somewhat of a dumping ground with animal cages and cat litter buckets strewn about the three-story property. Records show the property is under foreclosure. An auction to buy the home is scheduled for Jan. 23. At the moment, it’s unclear whether the home is occupied.

Welcome to the Norwood News, a bi-weekly community newspaper that primarily serves the northwest Bronx communities of Norwood, Bedford Park, Fordham and University Heights. Through our Breaking Bronx blog, we focus on news and information for those neighborhoods, but aim to cover as much Bronx-related news as possible. Founded in 1988 by Mosholu Preservation Corporation, a not-for-profit affiliate of Montefiore Medical Center, the Norwood News began as a monthly and grew to a bi-weekly in 1994. In September 2003 the paper expanded to cover University Heights and now covers all the neighborhoods of Community District 7. The Norwood News exists to foster communication among citizens and organizations and to be a tool for neighborhood development efforts. The Norwood News runs the Bronx Youth Journalism Heard, a journalism training program for Bronx high school students. As you navigate this website, please let us know if you discover any glitches or if you have any suggestions. We’d love to hear from you.

The house is definitely occupied by the owner. He has issues, for sure, but has been fighting a losing battle to work out a deal with the bank to keep his home. He has numerous cats inside and also feeds cats throughout the neighborhood. I have helped get several of his cats neutered and spayed. I am concerned that, should he lose his home, he and the countless cats he has maintained, will be homeless.
