If you are facing an investigation or false allegations from New York City’s Administration for Children’s Services (ACS) in Manhattan, you need to act fast. ACS has broad powers, and once a case is opened a CPS worker may attempt to remove your children, schedule mandatory interviews, or file charges in Family Court. Knowing where ACS operates, how their CPS agents work, and where your court hearings will be held is critical.
Most Manhattan ACS cases are handled by the Borough Office located at:
55 West 125th Street, 12th Floor, New York, NY 10027
Phone: (212) 289-2780
This office is responsible for responding to hotline calls, opening investigations, and assigning caseworkers. If you’ve been contacted by a CPS worker from ACS, there’s a good chance your case is being managed from this location.
Another central ACS office is located downtown at:
110 William Street, New York, NY 10038
General Line: (212) 676-7200
Office of Advocacy: (212) 676-9421
The 110 William Street location handles a wide range of services, including Family Preservation, Preventive Services, and Parent Advocacy.
If ACS brings a petition against you, your case will be heard at:
New York County Family Court
60 Lafayette Street, New York, NY 10013
Hours: Monday to Friday, 8:30 AM – 5:00 PM
Court Information Line: (212) 341-0012
This court handles all Manhattan ACS cases involving child neglect, abuse allegations, emergency removals, and supervision petitions. Parents must appear in this court to defend their rights and present their side of the story.
Once a report is made to the state child abuse hotline—even if it’s false—a CPS worker from ACS may:
These are common tactics in Manhattan ACS cases, especially when the agency wants to justify court involvement.
CPS caseworkers from ACS offices are not on your side. They may lie, misquote you, or make assumptions that are used against you in court. Many parents make the mistake of speaking freely, only to find their statements distorted in official reports.
Having legal representation prevents ACS from manipulating your words or pushing you into agreements that harm your case.
