116 Pinehurst Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10033

116 Pinehurst Avenue, a 6-story New Law tenement building with 353 units built in 1925 in Washington Heights, has undergone several significant maintenance and safety events in recent years. Most notably, a window guard issue was reported in December 2024, though HPD inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the complaint. The building experienced multiple heat and hot water complaints in December 2022, including one violation related to inadequate heat supply in apartment F42.

Between 2018 and 2020, there were several concerning elevator maintenance issues that required attention, including problems with hoist ropes, alarm systems, and oil leakage. The building has undergone regular tenant safety inspections in 2024, all resulting in compliance, and has maintained a clean bedbug record with zero reported infestations in the most recent filings. The property has faced challenges with various systems and maintenance issues over the years, including plumbing problems with toilets (2022), electrical concerns (2020), and rodent activity (with one inspection showing rat activity in October 2023).

Three open violations were noted in December 2022 regarding heating system access and notification requirements, and there was a failure to file the Cycle 1 Technical Report by the 2018 deadline. The building's exterior maintenance was addressed through multiple permits issued between 2018 and 2020, including work related to window replacement, electrical systems, and plumbing. Recent rodent inspections from 2024 and 2023 passed, indicating improved pest control measures, while the most recent complaints regarding construction safety were resolved. The elevator system underwent significant maintenance in 2020, with four ECB violations related to its operation and safety features, though these were later resolved.
