The City of New York is billed for all station maintenance within City limits. The City also pays the cost of station and platform construction that is not paid by federal or state grants. Often these funds are not forthcoming and disputes arise. Negotiation and concessions are commonplace.

The permanent closure of Far Rockaway as a passenger facility was studied in 1980 after a violent robbery of a trainman on the station platform.
