We help building owners and managers throughout Bay Shore keep their elevators safe, efficient, and up to code — from historic inns to modern apartment complexes.
Once a quiet rural community, Bay Shore became a popular escape for affluent New Yorkers in the late 19th century. With a bustling shopping district and access to the white-sand beaches of the Great South Bay, the hamlet grew into a favored resort destination. Visitors came for the waterfront views, the vibrant community, and proximity to Fire Island’s fishing villages.
The area has undergone many changes — even in name. Early European settlers called it Penataquit and later Awixa, both derived from terms used by the Native American Secatogue tribe. Today, Bay Shore blends coastal charm, rich history, and suburban living with expanding infrastructure and new developments.
Island Elevator supports that growth with full-service elevator solutions tailored to Bay Shore’s unique mix of building types — helping property managers maintain reliability and meet local code standards.
