The Garage - Brimmer Street Parking

Garage parking at Beacon Hill’s Brimmer Street Garage

On the Map

Demand for Boston parking is fiercest on Beacon Hill, as many of the 18th and 19th century homes do not have their own designated parking spaces.

Brimmer Street Garage represents the most exclusive venue to capture a parking space in the historic Boston neighborhood. The garage was converted into a “condominium” in 1979, making individual parking spaces in the garage deeded pieces of property that can be bought and sold. In 1979, single parking spaces were being sold for $7,500, and now, area residents are paying upwards of $500,000 to lay claim to one of the most exclusive parking spaces in Boston.

Rules & Regulations

The hours of operation of the Brimmer Street Garage Condominium shall be from 6:30 AM to 12:00 midnight, Sunday through Thursday, and 6:30 AM to 1:00 AM on Friday to Saturday. There will be no access to the Garage outside of those hours.
Rentals are only available on an annual contract which runs from July 1st to June 30th.
All parking of vehicles shall be done by the parking attendants, and not by the licensee. Keys will be removed from all vehicles parked on the first floor of the garage. Cars being moved from the second and third floors can only be driven by garage employees.
Each licensee is to provide a second ignition key (back-up key) for each vehicle regularly parked in the Garage.
Licensees are requested to notify the Garage ten to fifteen minutes prior to the time their vehicle is needed so that an attendant will have the vehicle ready for the licensee.

Licensees will be billed through the monthly invoice system for guest parking. No cash payments are allowed for guest parking
In reporting damage to a vehicle or any property loss which the licensee believes was caused while the licensee’s vehicle was in the Garage, the licensee should immediately notify the Garage manager. In addition, within forty eight hours, the licensee should describe the damage or loss in writing via a letter to the Garage manage with a copy to the Board of Trustees.
The Trustees will from time to time prohibit certain sized vehicles from being parked in the Garage. This restriction is due to the size and weight capacity limits of the elevators and the parking space constraints on the first floor.
At the present time, trucks of any size, including so called “light” pick-up vehicles cannot be parked in the Garage. Also, Hummer vehicles of any size are prohibited. The exact specifications are detailed in Section 3 or the “Parking License Agreement”
Due to the height limitations of the elevators and car lifts the Garage cannot accommodate any vehicles with roof-top or rear attachments.
The Trustees shall allocate gasoline supplies in any manner they see fit, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing; minimum purchases, maximum purchases, first come – first serve, or allocation of specific amounts to each licensee. Cash payments for gas are not allowed. Licensees will be billed for the gas purchases through the monthly invoice system.
Without the prior written approval of the Trustees, no activities shall be conducted or permitted to be conducted by licensees and no property shall be kept in the common areas which will increase the rate of insurance on the Garage. No activities shall be conducted and no property shall be kept in the common areas which will result in the cancelation of the insurance on the premises, or which could be in violation of any law.
All monthly charges shall be paid to the Trustees or their designated agents only. The Trust and the Trustees accept no responsibility for any payments made to unauthorized persons.
No licensee shall send any employees of the Trust out of the Condominium on a private business.
