Facility Overview
The 64 New York Ave NE Garage (with vehicular entry addressed at 77 P St NE) provides secure, covered subterranean parking in the heart of Washington, D.C.\'s bustling NoMa (North of Massachusetts Avenue) neighborhood. Serving both the prominent commercial office building at 64 New York Avenue NE—home to various District of Columbia municipal agencies—and visitors to the surrounding commercial district, this modern parking facility features clean, well-lit driving aisles, designated parking bays, and an efficient ramp structure. Because this is a covered multi-level underground parking structure, standard passenger cars, crossovers, and compact-to-midsize SUVs can navigate and park with ease. Drivers of oversized vehicles, such as lifted pickup trucks, commercial cargo vans, or vehicles outfitted with rooftop accessories, should take note of the posted vertical clearance limit (typically 6 feet 6 inches) to avoid clearance issues.

Visitor & Driver Tips
When planning your trip, set your GPS specifically to 77 P St NE rather than the main building address on New York Avenue, as the garage entrance is exclusively situated on P Street. Peak commuter influx occurs between 7:30 AM and 9:00 AM on weekdays; arriving earlier guarantees effortless bay selection. If you are attending an evening or weekend event in the NoMa district, check ahead via parking reservation apps to verify operational garage hours and take advantage of discounted advance rates.
