The short answer
With a median build year of 1942, Williston Park sits in the era when supply pipe was commonly galvanized steel. That matters because steel loses bore everywhere at once, so a whole-house symptom is ordinary there and a single weak tap is the odd one.

What 1942 tells you about the pipe in Williston Park
Housing of this vintage generally means galvanized steel as standard, and at this age the inside diameter of a half-inch line can be materially narrower than it was when it was fitted. The classic sign is that pressure is worst at the fixtures furthest from where the water comes in. More on 1940s supply pipe.
83% of occupied homes in Williston Park are owner-occupied, 37 points above the NY figure of 46%. It matters here because the run between the meter and the house belongs to the property owner, not the utility.

Before calling anyone in Williston Park, check whether every tap is weak or just one. On housing this old a whole-house drop is the expected finding, because galvanized steel loses bore from the inside and loses it everywhere at once. Normal supply is 45–80 psi and under 40 psi is low — how to test it in a minute. Whole house is a supply problem worth a call; one tap is usually a five-minute job you can do yourself.
