W263 on south side is NYC and north side is Yonkers, 52/52 responds into Spencer Terrace from Spencer Place again north side is Yonkers and south side is NYC. Some named streets are NYC for half of the block and then become Yonkers so border is really not defined and units from both departments...
The address 600 Depeyster St. is the location that FDNY units respond into Yonkers. It’s located on northern end of Mount St. Vincent property which is NYC but road address is Yonkers. If I remember there are 3 group homes on this block that get the assignment 600A 600B and 600C.

That rig is not a true quint, it certainly doesn’t have enough ground ladders required plus not sure if that ladder meets minimum length to be considered. I assume the pumps and booster tank plus hose beds are good for minimum standard.
Tower Ladder Siamese inlets are 3” and that’s what hose is stretched when supplying, the 3 1/2 hose in FDNY has 3” fittings. An increaser from 2 1/2 to 3” would be needed in event of 2 1/2 line being used. You can add the second line to the Siamese if needed for whatever reason but usually one 3...
The company apparatus is taken for PMP as per schedule, when PMP is not needed usually the companies apparatus is parked safely outside of quarters while relocating unit goes indoors.
