187 Pinehurst Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10033

187 Pinehurst Avenue is a 49-unit, 5-story residential building constructed in 1925 located in Washington Heights, currently owned by James Demetriou. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, with the most recent incidents occurring in September 2024 involving appliance problems. More concerning was a heat and hot water outage in May 2023, though these services were reportedly restored.

The building has a history of pest-related issues, with inspections in 2023 and 2024 revealing evidence of rat activity, particularly notable in 2019 and 2022. Multiple violations were documented in January 2022, primarily affecting apartments 2H, 1G, and B, including issues with fire damage, defective plaster surfaces, broken light fixtures, and other maintenance concerns, though many of these violations are no longer listed as active. The property has undergone multiple compliance inspections under Local Law 188/17, with the most recent active complaint from May 2023.

A significant plumbing issue arose in July 2024, resulting in a stop work order that was fully rescinded in February 2025. The building's bedbug report filings from 2021 through 2025 indicate no infestations during these periods, and recent rodent inspections show mixed results, with both passed and rat activity findings between 2018 and 2024. The building has maintained active compliance with annual bedbug reporting requirements, consistently showing zero infested units. Recent permit activity includes several issued permits in 2019 and 2021, though details on the specific nature of these permits are limited.
