Augrented Insights Report for 70 Pinehurst Avenue

The five-story, 25-unit tenement building at 70 Pinehurst Avenue in Washington Heights, owned by Herman Rubin, has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years. Most concerning is an open complaint from April 2025 regarding unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage. The building has faced recurring heat and hot water issues, particularly during December 2024 when multiple complaints were filed about inadequate heating throughout the building, some of which were not inspected due to access issues.

Water-related problems have been a persistent concern, with multiple heavy flow water leak complaints between 2024-2025, including violations issued in December 2024 for water leaks affecting the basement apartment. The building has also exhibited pest-related issues, with a December 2024 violation for a roach infestation in the basement apartment and previous complaints about mold and unsanitary conditions. The property has a relatively clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with reports from 2020-2025 showing zero infested units in each annual reporting period.

However, recent rodent inspections in January 2025 and October 2024 indicated rat activity, which contrasts with the passed inspections from 2023 and previous years. Violation records from December 2024 show multiple issues in the basement apartment, including water leaks affecting ceilings, broken plaster surfaces, and a reported infestation. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic services and maintenance, particularly regarding water infrastructure and pest management, though many violations from 2024 have been marked as closed following required corrections.
