Flower Hill runs a scheduled court calendar rather than daily sessions. Confirm your date with the court office directly, and request an adjournment in advance if you cannot make it. Note that some third-party court directories publish a different phone number for this court; the number above is the one listed by the New York State Unified Court System.
A Village That Is Not All in One Place
Flower Hill has an unusual shape. The village is not a single compact block but a set of areas spread across the Manhasset and Port Washington area, running from near Northern Boulevard up toward Port Washington Boulevard and the neighborhoods around Manhasset Bay’s eastern side.
For a driver, that means village boundaries here are genuinely hard to read from behind the wheel. You can cross into and out of Flower Hill in the course of a short drive along Port Washington Boulevard without any visual cue that the jurisdiction changed. People regularly receive a ticket they assume belongs to Manhasset, North Hills, or Roslyn and discover it is returnable to a court they had not heard of.
The lesson is simple and practical: the court named on the face of your summons is the one that matters. Not the mailing address, not the neighborhood name, not where you thought you were.
The Roads That Generate the Docket
Port Washington Boulevard is the spine, carrying north-south traffic between Northern Boulevard and the Port Washington peninsula, and it is heavily traveled at commuter hours. Northern Boulevard runs along the southern edge. Between them sit residential streets with low posted limits, sharp grade changes, and intersections where sight lines are short.
The charges follow accordingly. Speeding under VTL section 1180 on the boulevards, disobeying traffic control devices under section 1110(a) at signalized intersections, and handheld phone and texting violations under sections 1225-c and 1225-d in stop-and-go commuter traffic.
What Points Do That Fines Do Not
A fine is a transaction. Points are a status.
New York records points against your license for a rolling eighteen-month period, and the totals govern what the state can do to you. Speeding carries three to eleven points scaled to the speed recorded. Handheld phone use is five. Texting while driving is five. A traffic control device violation is two.
Cross six points inside eighteen months and the state begins billing a Driver Responsibility Assessment every year for three years. Cross eleven and your license is exposed to suspension. Neither of those is a penalty the court imposes; they are automatic consequences of the conviction being recorded, and they arrive after the court has finished with you.
Your insurer applies its own, longer penalty on top, reading the conviction off your abstract at each renewal for years afterward.
How We Handle Flower Hill Matters

Frequently Asked Questions
I thought I was in Manhasset. Why is my ticket returnable to Flower Hill?
Because Flower Hill’s boundaries are irregular and not visible from the road. Manhasset is a hamlet, not a village, and several incorporated villages overlap the area people call Manhasset. The court named on your summons controls, regardless of the mailing address or the neighborhood name.
Where is Flower Hill Village Court?
At 1 Bonnie Heights Road, Manhasset, NY 11030, reachable at (516) 627-2253. Some directories list a different phone number; the one above is the number published by the New York State Unified Court System.
Do I need to appear in person?
For most moving violations we appear on our clients’ behalf. Misdemeanor charges, including driving while intoxicated and aggravated unlicensed operation, generally require your presence. We will tell you which applies before your date rather than on it.
How many points before I actually lose my license?
Eleven within an eighteen-month period exposes you to a suspension proceeding. Six within that same window triggers a Driver Responsibility Assessment billed annually for three years. Both are automatic consequences of conviction rather than penalties the judge chooses.
