iPark is "New York City's second biggest private parking-garage operator" behind Icon Parking [1] with their primary locations in Manhattan and three garages in Rego Park and two in Forest Hills. William Lerner is the founder [2] and president of the company. [3]
iPark was founded in 1962 by Jack, the father of current owner Bill Lerner. The parking garage that began as a single 25-car lot expanded to 100 garages throughout New York in 1978 after Bill took over.
iPark is the "largest, privately held owner-operated garages and parking lots" in the state of New York, and Bill Lerner has been the overseer of such growth. [4] In 2011 iPark installed the company's first “Beam Charging” station in 14 of its garages. [5] iPark also became known for owner Bill Lerner's initiative in the winter of 2014 that allowed iPark to send employees out to help “dig motorist parked within a five block radius of any of his 125 parking garages out of the snow for free.” [6] iPark garages are also used as a “vehicle for exposure” for Bill Lerner and Alexson Roy's non-profit organization Billy4Kids; boxes are available in 110 iPark garages in New York to encourage people to “donate new or worn shoes” for children living in poverty who are exposed to “foot-born diseases.” [7]
Parking is the act of stopping and disengaging a vehicle and leaving it unoccupied. Parking on one or both sides of a road is often permitted, though sometimes with restrictions. Some buildings have parking facilities for use of the buildings' users. Countries and local governments have rules for design and use of parking spaces.
A parking lot or car park, also known as a car lot, is a cleared area intended for parking vehicles. The term usually refers to an area dedicated only for parking, with a durable or semi-durable surface. In most countries where cars are the dominant mode of transportation, parking lots are a feature of every city and suburban area. Shopping malls, sports stadiums, megachurches and similar venues often have immense parking lots.
