Parking reversal The city has canceled the cancallation of the summer change to alternate-side parking. “Non-metered side streets that have multiple cleaning days (per side) will continue to be cleaned only on the latest day of the week on each side.” In other words, if the sign says the street is cleaned twice a week, for example on Monday and Thursday, you need to move your car only on the later day—in our example, on Thursday.

Reversión de estacionamiento La ciudad ha cancelado la cancelación del cambio de verano al estacionamiento del lado alterno. Las calles laterales sin parquímetros que tienen varios días de limpieza (por lado) continuarán limpiándose solo el último día de la semana en cada lado. Si el letrero dice que la calle se limpia dos veces por semana, por ejemplo, el lunes y el jueves, debe mover su automóvil solo el día posterior, en nuestro ejemplo, el jueves. —8:26 a.m., September 20

     We ask you to limit its use to one person at a time and to take your clean laundry back to your apartment to fold so the next person can get in sooner. While your laundry is washing or drying, leave your number on the white board, below, so if you forget your clothes the next person knows who to remind.

Our fourth look at maintenance fees across Manhattan neighborhoods is available on the On The Market page. The previous survey, the third, compares fees to those in 2006 and 2008. Want to compare? Download a copy of the 2012 report by clicking on the link below.

Washington Heights is known for its noise. Luckily, Hudson Heights is a bit quieter. However, if you are bothered by loud music, a party, fireworks or other terrestrial sound, please call 311.
     Other noise comes from the skies. Aircraft fly over our neighborhood en route to LaGuardia Airport or on their way to points west.  

     Helicopters also fly nearby, and sometimes seems to hover. If these sounds are bothersome, please call the Economic Development Corporation at (212) 619-5000 with your concerns about helicopters, or for airplanes call (718) 533-5615 and press 3 for LaGuardia.

Have you lost a box after it was delivered and before you picked it up? You’re not alone: 90,000 of them go missing in New York every day, and residents in some buildings are protecting themselves.

     Some tips:

• Once your package is delivered, pick it up! The longer you wait, the more likely it is to go missing.

• Have your package held at the post office, or sign up for informed delivery from the USPS.

• If you’re going to be out of town for more than a few days, the Post Office will hold your mail if you sign up for the free service.

• Take advantage of “Ship to Store” option when it’s available. Amazon offers a locker feature that allows you to pick up your package from a secure location, whether near home or work.

• Request signature confirmation for delivery.

• Never buzz in someone whose identity you can’t establish.

• When you see strangers in the building, a friendly “Hello” or “can I help you find someone?” will let them know the residents are paying attention to visitors.

• And if you see a package at a neighbor’s door, you could collect it and let them know you have it.

     A magazine for co-op apartments suggests being aware of restaurant delivery personnel. The Denver Police Department says one effective deterrent is simply asking a neighbor to accept a package for you.

     If you’re clever, you could try what a NASA engineer has up his sleeve for porch pirates, but it involves a lot of glitter and amassing a certain … scent.

The Pinehurst is committed to recycling in accordance with New York City's goals. Most paper and plastic (but not all), glass and metal are recyclable in our bins in the garbage area.
     Compact fluorescent light bulbs require special recycling because their contents are hazardous. Also known as CFL’s, these bulbs are typically curly in shape. In our neighborhood the designated recycling spot is at the Northern Manhattan Improvement Corporation offices at 76 Wadsworth Avenue (between 176th and 177th Streets). Open business hours.
     For more information on CFL recycling, click here.

As of April 1, 2019, when you replace your smoke detectors, you need to upgrade to a 10-year sealed model. A new state law says that all new or replacement smoke detectors must be powered by the long-lasting battery or be hardwired to your electrical system. If you want to sell your apartment, you will need to upgrade your smoke detectors before the sale goes through.

In August 2017 Mayor DeBlasio signed legislation that requires all NYC cooperatives and condominiums to adopt formal smoking policies. The Board will be amending the House Rules to include this policy and any shareholders intending to sell or lease their apartment must also include it in their sale or lease agreement.

181 Street: Congested Corridors Project
     The city will expand its use of a dedicated lane for buses, this time on 181st Street. Every day more than 111,000 people ride a bus along Uptown’s main street, making it one of the busiest routes on one of the slowest streets in Manhattan. The change, which will start in the autumn, will reduce or restrict all other vehicles between Amsterdam Avenue and Broadway.

New officers Jennifer has taken the role of corporate president, and Rogier is the treasurer. We bid a board farewell to Hannes, who, after more than ten years serving his neighbors, the shareholders, and the corporation, stepped down from his role as the treasurer. It’s important work but it’s often invisible. The next time you see them, consider saying thanks.

ADASP changes Now that alternate-side parking is back, it’s alternate-day alternate-side parking. On those streets cleaned twice a week, cleaning will take place only on the later day posted on signs. So if the sign says you have to move your car on Mondays and Thursdays, it will now be cleaned on Thursdays only. The change lasts through Labor Day.

Reglas de estacionamiento Ahora que el estacionamiento del lado alternativo está de regreso, es un estacionamiento del lado alternativo de día alterno. En esas calles que se limpian dos veces por semana, la limpieza se realizará solo el día posterior publicado en los carteles. Entonces, si el letrero dice que tiene que mover su automóvil los lunes y jueves, ahora se limpiará solo los jueves. El cambio dura hasta el Día del Trabajo. —7:48 a.m., June 29
