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]

Company history

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.

Company information

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]
