Beautification Programs
Our comprehensive approach — street-level maintenance, expert tree care, and strategic beautification — provides Carnegie Hill with a level of stewardship that exceeds standard city services.
Park Avenue Mall Maintenance
For more than 40 years, Carnegie Hill Neighbors has lovingly cared for the Park Avenue malls from 86th to 96th Streets—transforming once-neglected stretches into vibrant green spaces filled with seasonal flowers and trees.
Today, CHN continues this stewardship from 86th to 97th Street, maintaining lawns and flower beds with regular watering, weeding, soil care, and repairs to railings and signage. We also oversee rotating seasonal plantings — from spring tulips to summer begonias — bringing color, beauty, and life to Park Avenue year-round.
At the northern end, just before the Metro-North tracks, a small garden at 97th Street marks the final stretch of the malls. Though modest in size, it stands as a symbol of CHN’s long-standing commitment to keeping Carnegie Hill green, welcoming, and beautifully maintained.
This transformation has only been possible thanks to the continued support of the buildings that line the avenue.
Graffiti Removal
Carnegie Hill Neighbors’ Graffiti Removal Program keeps our streets clean, welcoming, and well cared for through regular, proactive service around participating buildings. Our professional team removes graffiti from mailboxes, lampposts, utility poles, and other streetscape elements to help refresh each block.
All work is done overnight to minimize disruption for residents and pedestrians. Neighbors can report problem areas, while the CHN team also actively monitors blocks to ensure high-impact locations and participating buildings receive the consistent care and attention they deserve.

Park Avenue Malls
We invite co-ops, condos, and neighbors adjacent to Park Avenue to join our Park Avenue Mall Program and take part in this conservancy-style partnership. By participating, your building helps sustain the ongoing care that keeps these iconic green spaces thriving for the entire community.
Your participation helps ensure regular watering, weeding, trash pickup, railing repairs, and the year-round care that keeps this iconic stretch looking its best—from the garden at 97th Street to the southern end at 86th.
