Facility Overview
Located at 59 Allen St in the heart of the Lower East Side, Manhattan, this iPark facility serves as a vital parking solution in one of New York City’s most vibrant neighborhoods. The facility is a managed parking structure catering to standard passenger vehicles. Due to the historical nature of the Lower East Side, drivers should anticipate standard urban clearance levels.
