Before you drive to Plandome Manor Village Court, verify the address.
This is not generic advice. Several widely used online court directories publish the wrong street address for this court, transposing it with neighboring Plandome Heights. The New York State Unified Court System lists Plandome Manor Village Court at 55 Manhasset Avenue, Manhasset, NY 11030. If a directory sends you somewhere else, it is the directory that is wrong. Confirm the address, then get the charge itself reviewed before you enter any plea.
Plandome Manor Village Court
Address: 55 Manhasset Avenue, Manhasset, NY 11030
Phone: (516) 627-3701
Jurisdiction: New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law violations occurring within village boundaries, along with local village code matters
Plandome Manor is among the smallest incorporated villages in Nassau County, and its court sits on a limited schedule. Confirm your date and time with the court rather than assuming, and ask for an adjournment in advance if you cannot make it.
Why the Address Confusion Is Worth Taking Seriously
A wrong address in a directory sounds like a minor annoyance. In a small court it can cost you the case.
These courts do not sit daily. If you arrive at the wrong village hall on your return date, there is no counter to redirect you to down the hall and no later session that afternoon. You have missed the appearance. From there, New York courts are required to notify the DMV when a summons goes unanswered past its return date, and that notification can lead to the suspension of your driving privileges before anyone has considered whether the charge was sound.
So the rule here is narrower than the usual advice about reading your ticket carefully. Read the court name, then verify that court’s address against the state court system’s own listing. A directory that is confident and wrong is more dangerous than one that says nothing.
Enforcement in a Village of a Few Hundred Homes
Plandome Manor covers a small area of residential streets on the bay north of Manhasset, with Shore Road and the connections toward Port Washington Boulevard carrying most of what moves through. There is no commercial district and no through highway.
What produces summonses in a village like this is not congestion but transition. Drivers come off busier roads onto quiet residential streets with substantially lower posted limits, and the speed does not come down as fast as the limit does. Speeding under VTL section 1180 leads the docket, followed by traffic control device violations under section 1110(a) and handheld phone charges under sections 1225-c and 1225-d.
The Consequence Nobody Reads on the Ticket
Your summons states a charge and, usually, a return date. It does not tell you that a conviction adds points to your license, that six points inside eighteen months triggers a Driver Responsibility Assessment billed annually for three years, that eleven points exposes you to a suspension proceeding, or that your insurer will read the conviction off your abstract at every renewal for years.
Speeding is scored between three and eleven points depending on the recorded speed. Handheld phone use is five. Texting is five. A traffic control device violation is two. None of that appears on the paper in your hand, and all of it follows automatically from a guilty plea.
How We Handle Plandome Manor Cases

For most traffic infractions we appear on your behalf, which also removes any risk of your driving to the wrong address on the wrong evening.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the correct address for Plandome Manor Village Court?
55 Manhasset Avenue, Manhasset, NY 11030, reachable at (516) 627-3701, per the New York State Unified Court System. Some third-party directories transpose this with Plandome Heights, which is listed at 37 Orchard Street. Verify against the state’s record.
Can I get my return date moved?
Usually, if you ask in advance. Adjournments are ordinarily available on request through the court clerk, and requesting one is always better than missing a date in a court that sits only occasionally. What you cannot do is decide on your own to appear at a later session.
What happens if I go to the wrong village hall on my court date?
You miss the appearance. These courts do not sit daily, so there is no same-day correction. An unanswered summons past its return date can prompt the DMV to act against your driving privileges before the charge is ever evaluated.
Is a ticket from a village this small still serious?
Yes. The Vehicle and Traffic Law is a statewide statute and the point values do not scale to the size of the municipality. A speeding conviction here carries exactly what one from a major arterial carries.
What will a free case review tell me?
Which court has your case, what you were actually charged with, what a conviction would cost across points, assessments, and insurance, and what outcome is realistic. No cost, no obligation. Call or text 646-397-9529.
