About this Location

Facility Overview

NYC Parking 100 Parking Corp. (operated under the iPark umbrella) is an indoor, valet-attended parking garage located at 1831 Madison Avenue in the heart of East Harlem, bordering Central Harlem. The garage entrance is situated just around the corner at 79 East 119th Street, nestled smoothly between Park Avenue and Madison Avenue. Designed to meet the demanding parking needs of Upper Manhattan, this facility provides a secure, fully covered, and weather-protected shelter for vehicles away from congested curbside parking. The facility accommodates standard passenger vehicles, sedans, crossovers, and standard mid-size SUVs. Due to typical multi-level residential garage architecture, vertical clearance is limited to approximately 6 feet 6 inches (check on-site height bars upon approach). Drivers of lifted trucks, extended cargo vans, and high-roof commercial vehicles should note that overhead clearance restricts entry, and oversized consumer SUVs (e.g., Suburbans, Escalades) may be subject to standard New York City oversize surcharges.

Situated in a culturally vibrant and bustling sector of Uptown Manhattan, 1831 Madison Avenue serves as a strategic parking hub for both neighborhood residents and visitors exploring historic Harlem landmarks. Key nearby destinations include:

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Accessing the garage is straightforward via East 119th Street, an eastbound one-way street accessible directly off Madison Avenue or Fifth Avenue. The inbound lane provides a quick pull-in zone where valet attendants greet drivers and handle parking maneuvers, minimizing street blocking. Regional highway connectivity is exceptionally convenient: motorists can access the FDR Drive via the East 116th Street and East 125th Street interchanges, or connect directly to Queens and the Bronx across the RFK Bridge (Triborough Bridge) off 125th Street. For onward urban transit, the 116th Street and 125th Street subway stations (4, 5, 6 Lexington Avenue lines) and the 116th Street (2, 3 lines on Lenox Ave) are within an easy 5 to 8-minute walk. Additionally, the Harlem-125th Street Metro-North Railroad Station sits just six blocks north on Park Avenue, offering direct commuter rail access to Westchester, Connecticut, and Grand Central Terminal.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Because the garage entrance is located at 79 E 119th Street rather than along the Madison Avenue frontage, set your GPS navigation specifically to the 119th Street address to avoid unnecessary loops around the block. Drivers of large SUVs or pickup trucks should anticipate an additional oversize vehicle fee common across all NYC garages. To lock in the best available rate and guarantee a bay during busy weekend evenings or major neighborhood events, reserving a prepaid voucher through the iPark app or partner platforms like SpotHero prior to arrival is highly encouraged.
