You asked..

A question many residents have asked is "how do I go about getting a handicap parking permit?" First, let me say that if you do not need a handicap permit PLEASE DO NOT ASK FOR ONE OR USE SOMEONE ELSE'S. I know from experience that many people take advantage of the handicap permits and that is not fair to others who need to park closer for safety and health reasons. If you do not have a safety and health reason please be considerate of others who do and refrain from using the permits. Okay, with that said.
If you or someone you know need a permit and are under the age of 80 years the person applying must get a note from their doctor stating they need a permit. I will waive the note requirement for two conditions 1) The applicant has a obvious disability. 2) The applicant is 80 years old or older.
Once the applicant has proven the need for a permit they may come to the office
Mon-Fri 9am-5pm or call to make an appointment for a house visit.
Once a person has been granted a handicap permit that permit may go in any car the designee goes in. IT MAY NOT BE USED IF THE DESIGNEE IS NOT USING THE VEHICLE. There is no charge for the handicap permits. The applicant does not need to have a drivers license in order to recieve a permit. Remember: the permit is granted to the person and can go in any car the designee is in even if they are the passenger. If you have any questions feel free to call us at (914) 670-3030.
