Bay Park: Local Context
Bay Park is a small waterfront hamlet next to East Rockaway and home to the Bay Park sewage treatment plant, which was knocked offline by Sandy's surge in 2012. Bay Park is on Long Island's South Shore, with frontage on Hewlett Bay and the East Rockaway Channel. Bay Park is a hamlet (a Census-designated place) governed directly by the Town of Hempstead in Nassau County. By Census Bureau measurements, the hamlet covers about 0.5 square miles of land plus 0.1 square miles of water.
Communities around Bay Park include East Rockaway, Hewlett Harbor and Oceanside.
Local Risks That Shape Claims in Bay Park
Homes near Hewlett Bay and the East Rockaway Channel face storm surge during nor'easters and tropical storms. The wind-versus-water question decides which policy pays, which deductible applies (many Long Island policies carry a separate hurricane or windstorm deductible), and how much the homeowner recovers.
Check your address on the FEMA Flood Map Service Center to see whether your Bay Park home is in a mapped flood zone, and keep your flood and homeowners policies together.
