Facility Overview
The Park-it 395 Parking Corp. facility is a centrally located, open-air surface parking lot situated at 395 Broome St, New York, NY 10013. Nestled in the heart of the historic Little Italy and Chinatown districts, this professional valet-serviced lot offers a straightforward, outdoor parking experience. While it provides an essential service in a dense urban environment, potential visitors should note that it is an uncovered lot. Regarding vehicle suitability, standard passenger cars and sedans are easily accommodated. Please be advised that there are strict limitations for larger vehicles: the facility explicitly states that passenger vans cannot be accommodated, and vehicles classified as 'oversized' (between 65” and 75” in height and over 180” in length, or any vehicle exceeding 75” in height) are subject to additional on-site fees. Exotic and luxury vehicles should be cleared with management prior to arrival.
