Clerks office workers are always very helpful and kind. I can’t speak for the courts in the upper floors but the clerks and dmv are always nicer staff than other government building departments I have visited in other counties and states.

The center of it All. Everyone has been here once or twice. This building stands Alone.

The staff up here are horrible! They violate your first amendment rights, they threatened to have you arrested for filming in public. Disgusting human beings.
- ★★★★★Andy SharmaGoogle
DMV service is amazing and probably the best in entire NY state. Staff was very friendly and helped us out over and above what we were looking for. For sure this is the location I will visit for anything I need done at DMV. Highly recommended.

Very convenient and very competent. The only problem is the bus stop with all unsavory people hanging out.
