Getting a unit onto a Bedford Park block
Between Kingsbridge Road and Mosholu Parkway the streets are lined with pre-war apartment houses, alternate-side rules, and very few driveways, so most units here ride the curb. When a building has an interior courtyard or a super who can point to a service alley, that is usually the cleanest spot to set a standard unit for a stoop repair or a resident event.
For work in the roadway or on the sidewalk a right-of-way permit may apply, and the co-op or management office often wants a heads-up, so it pays to line those up before the delivery date.
The events and work that call
Block associations off the Concourse book units for summer street fairs and back-to-school festivals, while crews handling facade and boiler jobs on the older buildings keep a standard unit through the project. Field days tied to the schools near Bedford Park Boulevard and gatherings by the Botanical Garden fence round out the calendar.
When a school or church group runs a weekend event on the grounds, one flushing unit near the entrance and a couple of standard units off to the side keeps the flow moving. We can stagger the delivery so the units are set the evening before and collect them once the crowd clears out.
Picking the right unit
A short sidewalk job wants one standard unit and a handwashing station. A resident party in a courtyard often steps up to the deluxe flushing model, and any evening reception where people are in good clothes is a candidate for the climate-controlled restroom trailer if there is room and power nearby.
Tell us the guest count and the exact set-down spot and we match the unit to the block.
