They put in parts that you do not need and when you complain they are very rude swearing at their customers and when I went to their so called office at 77 Mill Road, Freeport it does not even bear their company name and the only thing that is there is a room for their supplies - how convenient. I am in the process of suing them and let this be a warning that just because they have a large ad in the yellow pages does not mean they are any good.

On 4/8/05 (7:19:35 PM MDT), in a posting to NYNASSAU-L@rootsweb.com, Greg (grcraw@mindspring.com) asked, "I am very new to research in Nassau. Are there directories, personal and/or business for Sea Cliff, Glen Cove for the 1917-1920 period?" The Village of Sea Cliff and the City of Glen Cove are separate municipalities in Nassau County. Looking at the Village of Sea Cliff first: For questions such as yours, you may want to contact the Sea Cliff Village Library (the library can suggest which local newspaper might have this information and other possible sources of information): Sea Cliff Village Library Sea Cliff and Central Avenues Sea Cliff, NY 11579-0281 Tel: 516/671-4290 Fax: 516/759-6613 eMail: seaclifflib@nassaulibrary.org http://www.nassaulibrary.org/seacliff/ The Village of Sea Cliff is the most unique community in either Nassau or Suffolk County: the village and the postal zone are 100% coterminous. The pertinent geography: The Village of Sea Cliff (incorporated in 1883) is in the northwest part of the Town of Oyster Bay, in the north-central part of Nassau County. There are 18 villages (municipal corporations) and 18 hamlets (unincorporated areas) all or partly within the Town of Oyster Bay. There are 2 cities and 3 towns in Nassau County. (I'm including after my name a NYS Geographic Glossary with the NYS definitions of county, city, town, village, hamlet and postal zone.) Beginning on its northern border and proceeding clockwise, the Village of Sea Cliff is bordered on the north by the City of Glen Cove; on the east by the Hamlet of Glen Head; on the south by the Hamlet of Glenwood Landing; and, on the west by Port Washington Harbor. And, unlike every other of the 293 communities (2 cities + 95 villages + 196 hamlets = 293 communities) in either Nassau or Suffolk Counties, the village (Sea Cliff) and the postal zone (Sea Cliff, NY) that use the same name, have the exact same border: .....................................................acres ………Village of Sea Cliff...................752 ..........Sea Cliff, NY 11579.................752 Thus, every place in the Village of Sea Cliff has a Sea Cliff, NY mailing address and every place with a Sea Cliff, NY mailing address is in the Village of Sea Cliff. No other city, village or hamlet on Long Island can make this statement. Now, turning our attention to the City of Glen Cove: For questions such as yours, you may want to contact the Glen Cove Public Library (the library can suggest which local newspaper might have this information and other possible sources of information): Glen Cove Public Library 4 Glen Cove Avenue Glen Cove, NY 11542-2885 Tel: 516/676-2130 Fax: 516/676-2788 eMail: glencove@lilrc.org http://www.nassaulibrary.org/glencove/ The pertinent geography: Glen Cove is a city in Nassau County and is located in the north central part of Nassau County. There are 2 cites and 3 towns in Nassau County. (I'm including after my name a NYS Geographic Glossary with the NYS definitions of county, city, town, village, hamlet and postal zone.) Glen Cove incorporated as a city in 1918 and became independent of the Town of Oyster Bay. Prior to that date, Glen Cove was a hamlet (unincorporated area) in the Town of Oyster Bay, initially in Queens County until January 1, 1899, and since then in Nassau County. Before it was called Glen Cove, the hamlet was called Musketa Cove. Beginning on the north and moving in a clockwise direction, the City of Glen Cove is bordered on the north by Long Island Sound; on the east by the Villages of Lattingtown and Matinecock in the Town of Oyster Bay; on the south by the Hamlet of Glen Head and the Village of Sea Cliff in the Town of Oyster Bay; and, on the west by Long Island Sound. And, as occurs in all but one of Nassau County's 136 communities (2 cities, 64 villages and 70 hamlets), it has a different border than does the "Glen Cove, NY 11542" postal zone (i.e., a place can have a Glen Cove mailing address and not be in Glen Cove). ...........................................acres ........City of Glen Cove..........4,336 ........Glen Cove, NY 11542....4,496 As you can see, some 160 acres or 3.5% of places with a Glen Cove mailing address are NOT in the City of Glen Cove. These places that have a "Glen Cove" mailing address, but are not in the City of Glen Cove are either in the Village of Lattingtown (incorporated in 1931) or the Village of Matinecock (incorporated in 1928) in the Town of Oyster Bay. For those who have their copy of the 2004 or earlier edition of the LI Population Survey or have already downloaded the report from the Long Island Power Authority web site (eMail me directly if you need instructions on how to access and download the report), you'll find the Village of Sea Cliff (incorporated in 1883) in the Town of Oyster Bay and the City of Glen Cove (incorporated in 1918), Nassau County on pages 5 & 11 (map) and 12 (population estimate). I hope this information is useful or, at least, interesting. Regards, Walter Greenspan . Cities, Towns, Villages, Hamlets and Postal Zones in New York State New York State is divided into counties. County A county is a municipal corporation, a subdivision of the state, created to perform state functions; a "regional" government. All counties are divided into cities, towns and Indian reservations. City A city is a unique governmental entity with its own special charter. Cities are not sub-divided, except into neighborhoods, which are informal geographic areas. Town A town is a municipal corporation and encompasses all territory within the state except that within cities or Indian reservations. Towns can be sub-divided into villages and hamlets. Village A village is a general purpose municipal corporation formed voluntarily by the residents of an area in one or more towns to provide themselves with municipal services. The pattern of village organization is similar to those of a city. A village is divided into neighborhoods, which are informal geographic areas. Hamlet A hamlet is an unincorporated area in one or more towns that is governed at-large by the town(s) it is in. A hamlet is divided into neighborhoods, which are informal geographic areas. Postal Zone "City" and "Town" A postal zone "City" and "Town" is an administrative district established by the U.S. Postal Service to deliver the mail. Postal zone "City" and "Town" may not (but are encouraged to) conform to municipal or community borders. Thus, postal zone location does not always determine city, village or hamlet location. Please be aware: In many areas of New York State, the problem of non-conforming postal zones leads to a situation where the majority of places have a different community name in their mailing address than the community where that place is actually located.

Please note: In 1990, the area south of Atlantic Avenue was separated from the Hamlet of Baldwin and was formed into the Hamlet of Baldwin Harbor.
