Grilling in the Parks
Looking for a place to light up a grill? This map shows the safe spots in Fort Washington Park, Highbridge Park, and Inwood Hill Park.
Grilling on the Pinehurst’s balconies and fire escapes is prohibited by law — not to mention common sense.
House Rules
Our building is a community, as well as our home. Residents share the responsibility to ensure a safe and pleasant quality of life at reasonable cost. We count on each other to treat all areas of the building as our home, and to protect and respect the rights of all of the Residents to a safe and comfortable home. A set of guidelines helps us achieve these goals.
The House Rules are available here. Return the cover sheet to Argo.
Please keep yourself familiar with the information in this document, which is part of your Proprietary Lease. The House Rules will be updated to include the Smoking Policy, which goes into effect on August 28. Until they are revised, shareholders who intend to sell or sublet must include the smoking policy in their sale or lease agreement. A copy of it is below, under “Smoking Policy.”

Hurricanes, Tornadoes, and Severe Weather
Severe weather is an uncommon but dangerous phenomenon. In the summer and early fall, hurricanes may threaten the northeast. If a hurricane is threatening the city, keep on top of this evacuation map.
Hurricanes are rare but their effects are not. Have a plan in case the weather turns severe.
The late spring and summer can produce tornadoes. Before you hear of a tornado watch (which means that weather conditions could produce a tornado) or a tornado warning (which
means a funnel cloud has been spotted, though it may not have touched the ground yet), please review these safety precautions for you and your family.
In short, go to the lowest level of the building, stay away from windows and remain there until the all-clear sign has been given (by the National Weather Service, typically), and have a first aid kit handy.
Laundry Room
Pay for your laundry with your smart phone. Hercules has an app that connects to the washers and dryers so you don’t have to keep track of a card anymore.
Download the Hercules CyclePay App from the Apple Store or Google Play for your IOS or Andriod phone. Full instructions on its use are in the chart on the right, which you can doawnload in the pdf below. It’s also posted in the laundry room.
Starting April 6, the laundry room has been open 24 hours a day except for cleaning between 9 and 9:30 a.m. and 3 and 3:30 p.m.
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.
Help get the next laundry customer started sooner.
Tengamos solo una persona en la habitación a la vez; Si sale de la habitación mientras lava o seca la ropa, escriba su número de teléfono en la pizarra para que la próxima persona que tenga ropa que limpiar pueda llamarlo cuando termine la suya.
Cuando la ropa esté lista, llévela a su departamento para doblarla.
Abrimos las instalaciones de lavandería las 24 horas, excepto cuando la habitación se limpia por las mañanas de 9 a 9:30 y por las tardes de 3 a 3:30.
Our laundry facilities are open to residents between 7 a.m. and 11 p.m. You can refill your card in the laundry room.
Hercules maintains the laundry machines, both the washers and dryers. With our dryers, to add five minutes you must do so when at least five
minutes remain in the cycle. If there is less time, you will be given 30 minutes and charged for a full cycle.
If a machine is malfunctioning, please call Hercules at (800) 526-5760 to inform them so they may repair it. Alternatively, you may send an e-mail to service@hercnet.com, explaining the problem and asking for a refund if you lost money. Hercules will need to know:
BUILDING NAME Pinehurst
BUILDING ADDRESS 447 Fort Washington
Avenue
BUILDING LOCATION Manhattan
LAUNDRY ROOM LOCATION Basement; super required for
access
MACHINE MALFUNCTIONING Take note of
the number on the machine, and if you’re asking for a refund, include your apartment number
Maintenance Fee Statements
We welcome you to switch to paperless billing for your monthly maintenance fee.
If you’ve signed up and chose not to receive paper statement but they’re still arriving, we have a solution. Just send an email to John and he’ll get it straightened out.
Manhattan Maintenance Fees
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.
If you’re specifically interested in Hudson Heights maintenance fees, we have that data too:

Noise
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.
In late 2020 a group of Uptowners formed a task force on noise. The idea came up at a meeting of Community Board 12, which may end up working with the group.
NYC Notify
The city has a way to keep you informed of emergency information as well as less-critical topics like parking changes. Sign up to receive notifications by e-mail, text, or phone messages. To stay informed, click here: https://a858-nycnotify.nyc.gov/notifynyc/
Package Security
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. And when lots of residents leave their packages uncollected, the space fills up and someone’s package has to be left outside the door, where thieves can prey on it.
• 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.
Recycling
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. During the pandemic, the
ctiy’s drop-off sites, including the one closest to us in Fort George, are closed and will remain so until June. In the meantime, take your CFL bulbs
to a retailer that accepts them, such as Home Depot.
For more information on CFL recycling, click here.
As we live through the pandemic and are dealing with a substantially larger volume of garbage, we are already spending more to manage our refuse. Your assistance will help us keep a lid on costs.
- Flatten your boxes when you put them in the recycling area. The picture at right, in October, shows what we want to avoid.
- Do not put your recycling in plastic bags. That includes plastic recycling. You can throw it all directly in the bin, which contains special bags that the city accepts.
1. Aplana tus cajas cuando las pongas en el área de reciclaje. La imagen arriba muestra lo que queremos evitar.
2. No ponga su reciclaje en bolsas de plástico. Eso incluye el reciclaje de plástico. Puedes tirarlo todo directamente a la papelera, que contiene bolsas especiales que acepta la ciudad.
Las reglas son impuestas por el Departamento de Saneamiento. Entonces, si no lo hacemos, Bud habrá dedicado más tiempo a tu reciclaje. Si no lo hace, pagamos multas.
Smoke Detectors
When you replace your smoke detectors, you need to upgrade to a 10-year sealed model. A 2019 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.
Smoking Policy
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: Busway Pilot plan
Increasing the speed of transportation along 181st Street has been a goal of everyone for years. In January, the Department of Transportation presented its plan to Community Board 12.
It includes changes to parking (and double parking!) and excludes from 181st Street traffic that isn’t a bus, truck, or emergency vehicle. You can download the plan here.
A previous review from Department of Transportation’s of 181st Street is here.

Bilingual updates Back in April, when the pandemic was at its scariest, we added Spanish language translations of our residents’ updates here. It’s a fair amount of work, and our requests for feedback have gone unheeded. With the response minimal at best, today we’re discontinuing it.
Actualizaciones bilingües En abril, cuando la pandemia estaba en su punto más aterrador, agregamos aquí traducciones al español de las actualizaciones de nuestros residentes. Es una gran cantidad de trabajo y nuestras solicitudes de comentarios no han sido atendidas. Con la respuesta mínima en el mejor de los casos, hoy lo vamos a suspender. —8:57 a.m., January 4
Reduced retail Among other changes last year, Fort George and Hudson Heights saw the biggest decrease in Uptown of the number of chain stores: a drop of eight from 48 at the beginning of 2020. Love ’em or hate ’em, we also had the most chain stores and we still have more than Lower WaHi (36) and Inwood (37).
Menor minorista reducido Entre otros cambios el año pasado, Fort George y Hudson Heights vieron la mayor disminución en Uptown de la cantidad de cadenas de tiendas: una caída de ocho de 48 a principios de 2020. Pero también tuvimos la mayor cantidad de cadenas de tiendas y todavía tenemos más que Lower WaHi (36) e Inwood (37). —10:10 a.m., January 3
Happy 2021! Get the year started off right with a 90-minute hike this afternoon through Manhattan’s only untouched forest, right.

Geese a-laying Did you receive any fowl today? Had your true love given you a half-dozen geese on this sixth day of Christmas, the bill would have been 35.7 percent higher than last year. But if your admirer had bought everything in the song “Twelve Days of Christmas,” the cost would have declined 58.5 compared to 2019. Which is another way of saying that the drop in WaHi apartment sale prices was comparatively low, at 27.9 percent. That’s steep, but better than the Lower East Side (–34.6%), Flatiron (–45%), Midtown West (–50.7%), and Hamilton Heights (–72.7%).
Poniendo gansos ¿Recibiste alguna ave hoy? Si su verdadero amor le hubiera dado media docena de gansos en este sexto día de Navidad, la factura habría sido un 35,7 por ciento más alta que el año pasado. Pero si su admirador hubiera comprado todo en la canción "Doce días de Navidad", el costo habría disminuido 58,5 en comparación con 2019. Lo cual es otra forma de decir que la caída en los precios de venta de apartamentos WaHi fue comparativamente baja, un 27,9 por ciento. Eso es empinado, pero mejor que el Lower East Side (–34,6%), Flatiron (–45%), Midtown West (–50,7%) y Hamilton Heights (–72,7%). —9:02 a.m., December 30
Covid infections The rate is getting worse. Here in Zip code 10033, including Fort George and part of Lower WaHi, 7.98 percent of people are infected, more than the rate for the city, which is 7 percent. In Inwood, it’s even higher: 8.53 percent. Scroll down to find out how to get tested for free and how to find out if you have coronavirus antibodies.
Infecciones por Covid La tasa está empeorando. Aquí, en el código postal 10033, incluido Fort George y parte de Lower WaHi, el 7,98 por ciento de las personas están infectadas, más que la tasa de la ciudad, que es del 7 por ciento. En Inwood, es incluso más alto: 8,53 por ciento. Desplácese hacia abajo para descubrir cómo hacerse la prueba gratis y cómo saber si tiene anticuerpos contra el coronavirus. —9:11 a.m., December 29
Christmas tree disposal When you’re ready to say goodbye to your (formerly) live Christmas tree, wreath, or roping, get one of the bags Bud placed in the basement by the window and put your greenery in it before you take it to the garbage area. (That keeps the needles from trailing behind you.) Or if you want to burn some calories, drag it to J. Hood Wright Park, where it will be turned into mulch for the city’s sidewalk trees.
Eliminación del árbol de Navidad Cuando esté listo para despedirse de su (anteriormente) árbol de Navidad vivo, corona o cuerda, obtenga una de las bolsas que Bud colocó en el sótano junto a la ventana y coloque su vegetación en ella antes de llevarla a la zona de basura. (Eso evita que las agujas se arrastren detrás de usted). O si desea quemar algunas calorías, arrástrelo hasta J. Hood Wright Park, donde se convertirá en abono. —2:13 p.m., December 28

Little hooves All Bud could find only little hoof prints in the snow … and a stray ribbon or two by the chinmey.
Pequeñas pezuñas Lo único que Bud pudo encontrar son pequeñas huellas de pezuñas en la nieve ... y una cinta suelta o dos en la barbilla. —12:33 a.m., December 25
Down of a thistle Such a clatter Bud is checking on reports from the sixth floor of noises on the roof. Have you heard them too?
Abajo de un cardo Tal estrépito Bud está comprobando los informes del sexto piso de ruidos en el tejado. ¿Los has escuchado también? —11:54 p.m., December 24
Trimming trees As Santa’s visit draws near, your live tree, wreath or roping needs a bit of water to keep its needles from falling off—and to prevent it from becoming a fire hazard. Spray a bit of water on it and add some to the pan holding your tree, especially if you’re leaving town.
Poda de árboles A medida que se acerca la visita de Papá Noel, su árbol vivo, corona o cuerda necesita un poco de agua para evitar que las agujas se caigan y para evitar que se convierta en un peligro de incendio. Rocíe un poco de agua y agregue un poco a la bandeja que sostiene su árbol, especialmente si se va de la ciudad.
¿Disfrutas leyendo nuestras notas en español? En abril comenzamos a traducir nuestras notas. Hemos tenido poca respuesta a ellos, por lo que estamos planeando volver al inglés solo en el nuevo año. Si tiene interés en leerlos en español, háganoslo saber pronto. —9:31 a.m., December 22
Winter arrives In case you couldn’t tell by looking out your window, winter arried three hours ago. The changing of the season makes for an excellent reminder to change the batteries in your smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detector. Need help? Ask Bud.
Llega el invierno El invierno llegó hace tres horas. El cambio de estación es un excelente recordatorio para cambiar las baterías de sus detectores de humo y detector de monóxido de carbono. ¿Necesitas ayuda? Pregúntale a Bud. —8:02 a.m., December 21
Park encounter Notice anything big, orange, and scary near Shorakkopoch Rock recently? Chances are it wasn’t an over-ripe jack o’lantern but a pumpkin spider. Also known as an orb-weaver spider, they’re usually nocturnal, but the good thing is they’re safe … to humans, anyway.
Encuentro en el parque ¿Has notado algo grande, naranja y aterrador cerca de Shorakkopoch Rock recientemente? Lo más probable es que no fuera una jack o'lantern demasiado madura, sino una araña calabaza. También conocida como araña tejedora de orbes, por lo general son nocturnas, pero lo bueno es que son seguras ... para los humanos, de todos modos. —10:57 a.m., December 20
