QUEENS BLUEPRINT

A Guide To The Official Guide By MICHAEL SCHENKLER Some things endure. The Queens Tribune’s Official Guide to Queens is one of those special creations for a publisher that leaves its mark on the industry and the area and just keeps on going and giving.

More than 20 years ago, in 1991, I sat in my storefront office on Kissena Boulevard and told David Oats and a handful of other staff members that we were the paper of record in Queens and part of our responsibility was recording history and providing for our readers the Borough’s information in a usable, reader-friendly format. The Blue Book you are holding (or the online, iPad, or iPhone edition you are viewing) is the 2013 version of an annual guide, which is in its third decade of publication. Year after year, the annual Guide to Queens has been the most comprehensive working reference book for all who have occasion to navigate through Queens, its information, bureaucracy and life. As the Tribune is in its fifth decade of publishing, we take note of the Official Guide, just half our age but our most referenced publication each year. The Trib has chronicled the lives of the people of Queens for more than four full decades and we continue to try our best to bring some order to the ho dgepo dge of Count y a nd Cit y officialdom, as well as answering some basic questions about our Borough – the most ethnically diverse place anywhere on Earth. We hope our efforts presented on these page s help our readers cope. We believe our Official Guide is indispensable to anyone living in, doing business in, researching or even passing through Queens. We use it as a regular phone directory to everything Queens, an elected-officials-name s spell-checker, an atlas (Communit y Boards, legislative districts and much more), an emergency contact guide and a mini-encyclopedia/fact checker. It provides you with contact information for all the resources to unjangle your chaos, soothe your soul, enrich your mind and get you where you want to go. We keep a copy of The Queens

Blue Book next to our desk at home and in our offices - here in Queens and i n Hunt i n g ton, where we guide the Long Islander newspaper group started by Walt Whitman in 1838. Inheriting the legacy of Whitman, one of the greatest American chroniclers in our history, gave me new insight into publishing history and perspectives on the meaning of a newspaper. When we published our first official guide in 1991, the concept of a newspaper-produced reference book for its readers was unheard of. An everincreasing number of ne wspaper s throughout the City, State and nation have followed our lead and our Official Guide concept is being embraced by newspaper publishers coast-to-coast. We have created the industry standard. It’s been imitated by many - but never equaled. The Tribune has pioneered much more than just the “Official Guide” concept. Community journalism on the East Coast saw its first four-color pages in 1988 in the Trib. The glossy covers first dressed the Trib way back in 1990; our website appeared over a dozen years ago. Our iPad and iPhone apps have brought new portability to Queens news, and we’re not stopping now. The Official Guide To Queens 2013, which you have in your hands – at least virtually, is just the beginning of the story. For the past eight years, the Tribune has been publishing regular magazine specials — stitched and trimmed, bound in a glossy wrap with an in-depth Queens-focused theme. Watch for these specials. They will inform, entertain and hopefully cause you to think. We’ll provide the official info and the unofficial dope. We’ll compile the information and then push the envelope. Our specials will be found throughout the year, on the coffee tables, office shelves and desks of the decision maker s, par t y-goer s, busine sspeople and families whose daily lives include the excitement of Queens. Watch for our super March 2013 Glossy Souvenir Edition celebrat ing the Queens Tribune’s 43rd Anniversary. There will be a lot more excitement in months ahead. Readers, grab your copy - the glossies move fast - or mail in your $12 subscription. You can go to our website and sign up online to receive a complete email version – including our advertisers who make this all possible. Likewise, our advertisers are included in the iPad and iPhone apps, which can be downloaded free of charge from the Apple App Store. Adver tisers, call (718) 357-7400, Ext. 132 to be part of the most exciting journalistic effort in the City’s most in-

teresting and vital borough. Our editorial team has had every phone number, every fact and every comma checked and double-checked. Still, we are certain that our readers will find something less than perfect. Please let us know. We want to print corrections, correct our online edition and update our files for next year’s Blue Book. You can send ideas, suggestions or cor rect ions to: bluebook@ queenstribune.com or fax (718) 3579417. Hundreds of people have contrib-

uted to this, the Queens Blue Book. It is the culmination of the effort of journalists, artists, salespersons, office staff and friends who have walked through our doors over the past 42 years. Our readers, who throughout the year emailed, faxed and mailed us advice, suggestions, complaints, omissions and errors, and our advertisers, who loyally support our effort because they believe in the Trib and they believe in Queens, are as much a part of our story as anyone else.

Serving The Borough

Queens Borough Hall

ueens Borough Hall is located at 120-55 Queens Blvd. in Kew Gardens at Union Turnpike near the interchange between the Grand Central Parkway, Jackie Robinson Parkway and Van Wyck Expressway, adjacent to the Queens Criminal Courthouse. It is home to the offices of the Queens Borough President, the Queens offices of numerous city agencies and some court space. Previously, the Borough’s municipal offices were scattered throughout the borough before being brought together under one roof. The first Borough Hall was located in Long Island City at 10-63 Jackson Ave. at 49th Avenue, established when Queens became one of the five boroughs of New York City on Jan. 1, 1898. As the population expanded, the need for a dedicated civic building closer to the center of the Borough became more apparent. The current Borough Hall opened on Dec. 4, 1940, and is located very close to the geographic center of the Borough. It was built in just nine months during the Great Depression at the low cost of only $1.6 million. The architects, William Gehron and Andrew J. Thomas eliminated elevators in the plans to speed up construction. The long, low three-story brick building has a central entrance on Queens Boulevard marked by angular columns that represent the classical-style architecture popular during the era. It has become one of the most popular spots for marriages in the city, using the building’s small chapel, presided over by the deputy city clerk. This was the first dedicated Borough Hall in the nation and represented the growth of Queens County from rural villages to booming suburbs to a bustling urban center during the 20th Century.

Each board has up to 50 non-paid members who meet once a month to discuss community issues. All members are appointed by the Queens Borough President, with half of them nominated by City Council members. At presstime, Borough President Helen Marshall was scheduled to appoint new board members in April, so changes will be made to the following lists of members. All Census figures were compiled by the New York Department of City Planning. A reference map with all of the Borough’s Board numbers is shown below, with unlabeled locator maps next to each individual board.

Victims If you have been the victim of a crime, call 911 or your local police precinct (check page 37). Police are the ones who will gather information, evidence and officially start the legal process.

District Attorney Once sufficient information and evidence is gathered and an arrest is made, the Borough’s top law enforcement official, District Attorney Rich-

ard Brown, steps in. His office prosecutes criminal cases on behalf of the public at no cost to the victim(s). The Queens District Attorney maintains a website, www.queensda.org, a directory of important phone numbers and general information about each bureau and crime fighting task force in his jurisdiction. He also publishes press releases about notable cases, but information about the victim is kept anonymous. For more information, call the main number at (718) 286-6000.

Defendants Victims are not the only ones with free lawyers at their disposal. Those arrested for criminal charges (drugs, assault, robbery) may request the presence of a lawyer when questioned by authorities. These lawyers are appointed by the court and paid for by the public. Those court-appointed lawyers can be replaced at the defendant’s discretion for one of their choosing. Private defense attorneys can be found in the phone book or online.

In The Service of Queens

Tribune Photo by Ira Cohen

In 2002, Helen Marshall became the 18th Borough President of Queens â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the first African American and the second woman to assume the post of the highest elected official in the borough. And for this history-making woman, service to the community is nothing new. Marshall was the Councilmember representing the 21st District (Corona, East Elmhurst, Jackson Heights, Elmhurst, Flushing Meadows-Corona Park and LaGuardia Airport) for 10 years before taking on her current position at Borough Hall. She was the first minority and first woman to be elected by that district in 1991, and before leaving, she served as chair of the Higher Education Committee and was a member of the Housing & Buildings, Environmental Protection and Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Issues Committees. She also was co-chair of the Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Black and Latino Caucus.Before her election to the City Council, Marshall was elected in 1982 to the first of five terms in the New York State Assembly. For eight years, prior to her election to the Assembly, she was an early childhood teacher. She left teaching in 1969 to become the first director of the Langston Hughes Library â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a post she held for five years. She also was director of the Elmcor Testing Assessment and Placement Program for eight years. In 1975, she became a Democratic National Committee Committeewoman and was elected in 1974 as a Democratic District Leader. She was also a parent activist in the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public schools for 15 years, a member of Community Board 3 for 13 years and a founder of the Queens County Overall Economic Development Corporation. Marshall is a graduate of the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public school system and has a bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in education from Queens College. She has also taken graduate courses in education at the Bank Street Claire Shulman College, and public administration at Long Island University. She Feb. 12, 1986-Jan. 3, 2002 is married to Donald Marshall and is the proud mother of two children, Donald Jr., an electrical engineer, and Agnes Marie, who is employed in the fashion industry. Marshall also has two grandchildren, Chandler and Chasen, the children of Donald and Charlene.

Queens’ Bravest

Fire Department

retired battalion chief of the FDNY once said it is not a firefighter’s willingness to enter a burning building that makes it special; it is that person’s ability to acknowledge their own fear and still descend into the danger that earns them the distinction of Bravest. New York City’s Bravest are the elite of a special breed of civil servant; proud components of what is widely considered the best firefighting force in the world. There are nearly 60 firehouses in Queens, some more than 100 years old, and every one the anchor of its neighborhood. And each uniformed member – from the officers down to the probies – has sworn to protect the community it adopts as its second home. Active 24 hours a day, seven days a week, these quarters are also sources of comfort and pride for residents of the community. Majestic engine rigs and ladder trucks tucked inside brick buildings with towering cherry-red garage doors are emblematic of the daily service provided by the dedicated men and women of the Fire Department of the City of New York. Below is a list of Queens’ engine companies, ladder companies and battalions.

Park It On The Green

Queens Greenspots & Playgrounds Queens’ 400 parks, playgrounds and fields provide our Borough with more than 7,000 acres of green space. ALLEY POND PARK Extending from Little Neck Bay to Springfield Boulevard and Union Turnpike, this 657-acre park is the second largest in Queens. It consists of an environmental center, baseball and football fields, hiking trails, a dog run and a first come, first serve adventure course. The origin of “The Alley” name is still debated, but it is rumored that travelers – such as George Washington – passed through the park on their way to Long Island. ASTORIA PARK Although widely known for its beautiful pool, the oldest and largest in the City, Astoria Park offers more than aquatic pleasures. Outdoor tennis courts, a track, a bandstand, multiple trails, basketball courts and playgrounds lure visitors from the five boroughs and beyond. Sitting on the edge of the East River and resting between the Triborough Bridge and Hell Gate Bridge, the park offers shoreline sights and sounds that make the benches along its perimeter popular spots yearround. BOWNE PARK This Flushing park is bounded by 29th and 32nd Avenues, and by 155th and 159th Streets. Featuring basketball, bocce courts and playgrounds, it is named in honor of Walter Bowne (1770-1846), who served as a State Senator and New York City Mayor. Mr. Bowne’s summer residence stood on this property until March 1925, when fire destroyed the building. CUNNINGHAM PARK Culture, sports, nature... and fun! All of these things abound in Cunningham Park, one of the largest parks in Queens. Assembled between 1928 and 1944 and named Cunningham Park in 1934, the space features bicycling, cricket, dog runs and hiking.

FLUSHING MEADOWS-CORONA PARK At 1,255 acres, Flushing MeadowsCorona Park is the second largest park in the City and host to the USTA U.S. Open and the New York Mets in Citi Field. The park also houses the Queens Museum of Art, Queens Zoo, Hall of Science and Queens Theatre. The site of two 20th century World’s Fairs attended by millions of people, Flushing Meadows Corona Park continues to draw and delight visitors. As the largest park in Queens, it offers plenty of space for whatever your recreational desires may be—baseball, soccer, tennis, cricket, et cetera. Discover the stunning recreation complex, zoo, art museum, botanical garden, skate park, science museum and baseball stadium. Explore one of the park’s six playgrounds, take a stroll along the Flushing Bay Promenade or launch your model airplane. Flushing Meadows Corona Park has room for all your active pursuits!

DRAGON BOAT RACES ARE AN ANNUAL EVENT AT FLUSHING MEADOWS CORONA PARK. JAMAICA BAY PARK This 149-acre bird sanctuary is known for some of best bird-watching on the eastern seaboard. A one-anda-half mile trail weaves through the salt marshes; the wildlife refuge is part of the Gateway National Recreation Area. JUNIPER VALLEY PARK This park became part of the park system after the City acquired it to settle a tax dispute with Arnold Rothstein, most famous for accusations that he rigged the 1919 World Series. The 55-acre plot of land earned its name from the nearby Juniper Valley Swamp and in the early 1940s the bog was transformed into a recreational destination with new fields and paths. Today, the Juniper Park Civic Association maintains the park and lobbies for its needs.

FOREST PARK With more than 500 acres to romp through, Forest Park offers trails for horseback riding and walking or jogging. The Bandshell, originally constructed in 1898, and reconstructed in 2010, serves as a venue for musical performers; including Sunday afternoon appearances by the Queens Symphony Orchestra. KISSENA PARK This quaint refuge in Flushing is packed with recreational opportunities. In the early morning, it’s a prime spot for bocce, tennis or Tai Chi. Then, in the afternoon, golfers head to the Kissena Park Course and cyclists tackle the Velodrome on Booth Memorial Avenue and Parsons Boulevard. Kissena Lake was refurbished several years ago and now the looping path around it is often filled with joggers, walkers and fishermen.

Fighting Hunger Food Pantries & Kitchens

ne in four New York City children live in food-insecure households, which means families must decide whether to pay for rent, utilities, medical care or food, according to the Coalition Against Hunger. Hunger agencies reported to CAH that some of the fastest growing population pools in the Borough in need of food assistance were families with children, seniors and immigrants. If you are in need of food, call the Coalition Against Hunger at (866) 888-8777 for food assistance.

How To Get

Assistance I

f you are low on funds and trying to stretch out what little you have, there are some ways to get back on your feet before you fall into despair. Help is available for families and single people in need of health insurance, rent assistance and food. The Human Resources Administration provides most of the above-mentioned services. Below is a listing of some services from the HRA for New York City residents who need a helping hand. For more information on the programs and facilities listed below, or other means of public assistance, visit:

Health Insurance Assistance New York State offers free and low-cost health insurance programs for low-income individuals. You may qualify for public health insurance even if you earn an income, own a house, own a car, have a bank account or already receive private health insurance. Individuals and families who are low-income, or receiving SSI or cash assistance, are automatically eligible. Pregnant women, children, persons over 65 and people with disabilities are also eligible.

Food Stamps The Food Stamp Program provides food support to low-income New Yorkers including working families, the elderly and the disabled to increase their ability to purchase food. To receive Food Stamp benefits, a household must qualify under eligibility rules set by the federal government. Households applying for Cash Assistance at a job center have their Food Stamp application taken at the same time. Other households can apply at local Food Stamp Centers located throughout the City, which are open 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Queens Food Stamp Centers can be reached at:

Queens’ Silver Lining

Senior Centers

With over 50 senior centers located in Queens, it is easier than ever for one's golden years to be full of exciting activities, from biking and jogging to playing the slots in Atlantic City. Just under one-third of City residents over 60 reside in Queens, and the majority of those are not bound by mobility or self-care limitations, according to the 2000 census. Moreover, several studies also show that seniors today are more healthy and active than in the past - many are playing tennis and pool instead of just pinochle and cribbage. For seniors who need a little bit of help, centers provide a wide variety of services, such as arranging transportation and meals for homebound residents. Some even offer assistance with legal issues and taxes. More information can be found at the City's Dept. of Aging website, www.nyc.gov/html/dfta, or from their referral office, reached at (212) 442-1000.

Reaching Out, Finding Help

Senior Reference & Aid ADULT DAY CARE PROGRAMS

For older people in frail health, managing a daily life at home is often a struggle that may lead to institutionalization. There is an alternative enabling them to retain their independence and remain in the community. Adult Care Programs provide medical assessments, rehabilitation and counseling services. These activities all take place in a friendly, social setting, helping to counteract the isolation and depression suffered by so many elderly individuals who are coping with disabilities. The criteria for eligibility, fees and other specific services vary from program to program. For more information on Adult Day Care programs, call the Queens Borough President’s office at (718) 286-2680.

ELDERLY PHARMACEUTICAL INSURANCE COVERAGE PROGRAM The EPIC program is a prescription drug insurance plan for the elderly, sponsored by New York State. This program is intended for seniors who do not have adequate insurance coverage for prescription drug expenses. To qualify, you must be a New York State resident, 65 years of age or older, and you must meet the program’s income guidelines. If eligible, you can save as much as 60 percent on the cost of prescription drugs.

SENIOR TRANSPORTATION The Borough President’s office created the Queens Para-Transit Network more than a decade ago. Today, they transport seniors to medical appointments, senior centers, social service agencies and shopping centers. Seniors are also able to access car service through the network. For more information, contact the Borough President’s office at (718) 286-2680.

HOUSING RENT CONTROLLED & RENT STABILIZED APARTMENTS Apartments covered by rent control are in buildings built before 1947 with more than three units. The resident must have occupied this apartment since or before July 1, 1971. If your building was built after 1947 and contains six or more units, or the tenancy began after July 1, 1971, the apartment is most likely under rent stabilization.

SECTION 8 HOUSING The U.S. Dept. of Housing and Urban Development administers Section 202 housing for the elderly and handicapped. The Department makes direct, lowcost and long-term loans to nonprofit sponsors to finance the production of rental housing. Funds are borrowed from the Treasury, and interest paid by project owners is slightly below market rates. Rental assistance (Section 8) can be combined with this program to help pay rent for tenants with low income. Households of one or more persons, the head of which is at least 62 years old or is handicapped are eligible. The Section 202 office is located at: Jacob K. Javits Federal Building (Broadway - between Duane & Worth Streets) 26 Federal Plaza, Suite 3541, New York, NY 10278 Phone: (212) 264-8000 Fax: (212) 264-0246 Email: NY_Webmanager@hud.gov Office Hours: Monday through Friday: 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Train To Everywhere

Going Underground

ven though there are entire areas of the borough of Queens that do not have direct subway service, the New York City subway system is a vital mode of transportation for everyone in Queens. Like veins in a body, the tunnels and elevated tracks of the Queens subway routes reach through the borough, carrying in them important “blood” in the form of commuters, tourists, students, and day trippers. So it is not surprising just how debilitating a shutdown can be, even for a short time. In 2011, the 7 train, which serves two of the borough’s busiest stations, became a headache for commuters and the MTA alike. Weekend shutdowns and service changes left anger and confusion for the nearly half million daily riders. In 2013, 7 train shutdowns will continue, but the MTA promises the upgrades will help make service much more reliable for generations to come. And that’s important to our survival. A century ago, the borough grew with the help of the subways, and today the clanging noise of packed

der. From those stations, the LIRR’s second terminal at Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn is also accessible. Along the Port Washington branch is the Mets: Willets Point station, serving Citi Field and the U.S. Tennis Center, home of the US Open. Within what the LIRR calls the “City Terminal Zone,” commuters often shell out the extra money at Woodside, Forest Hills and Kew Gardens for what is often a quicker trip into Manhattan than taking the subway.

Get On The Bus

us fare is $2.25, payable with a Metro Card or coins (no pennies). People 65 years or older and people with qualifying disabilities who show proper forms of identification (including Reduced-Fare MetroCard or a Medicare card) are eligible for reduced fares. Bus stops are located at street corners and have a tall, round sign with a bus emblem and route number. Some stops have bus shelters. All NYC Transit buses are accessible to travelers who are handicapped. Certain bus seats are reserved for people who use wheelchairs, that must be relinquished upon the bus operator’s request. These seats are clearly marked. Although some seats near the front do not have to be given to elderly persons, it is considerate to do so. Buses stop about every two or three blocks. Buses marked “Limited” make fewer stops. Push one of the tape strips located between the windows or stop buttons on the grab bars of the newest buses in order to signal the driver to stop. You should exit at the rear door to keep out of the way of

people trying to board the bus. Do not stand in the stairwell while the bus is in motion. Once the bus has stopped, you’ll see a green light over the rear door that indicates it can be opened. In some buses, these doors swing open automatically once you press the yellow tape strip on the doors. If you pay your fare with a MetroCard, you may transfer free from bus to subway, subway to bus or bus to bus within two hours of the time you pay your fare. Unlimited Ride MetroCard includes all transfers, at no charge. If you pay your fare with coins, you may transfer free between buses with intersecting routes. You must ask the bus driver for a transfer when you pay your fare. The transfer is a single-use MetroCard with a black stripe along the bottom. When you catch your connecting bus, insert the transfer into the bus fare box — black stripe to the right side. For your late night safety and convenience: Request-A-Stop bus service allows you to request to be let off at a location that is not a bus stop and is available from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m., seven days a week. Simply inform the bus operator where you want to get off.

Municipal Parking Spots

n Queens, many residents rely on their cars to get about town for groceries, to go to work and more, so finding street parking is often a challenge. But with ample municipal parking lots, finding parking spaces in the Borough is a little easier. Since 2005, parking meters and MuniMeters no longer have to be paid on Sundays. The Dept. of Transportation is in the process of changing signs throughout the City to reflect this new parking rule, but it will take some time before the thousands of parking signs can be updated. Despite what is stated on these signs, motorists can park at meters on Sundays without paying. Most municipal parking spaces have been supplied with Muni-Meters, replacing 20th Century coin meters and offering a new-millennium method of paid parking. Muni-Meter Payment Coin Payment 1) Insert one quarter for each 15-minute unit of time desired, and indicate space number, if required. 2) Press green button to end purchase and take receipt. 3) Display receipt on vehicle dashboard. Parking Card Payment 1) Insert Card and indicate space number, if required. 2) Press blue button to purchase time units. 3) Press green button to end purchase and take receipt. 4) Display receipt on vehicle dashboard. Cards are available in $15, $20, $15, and $50 denominations, and may be purchased by calling (718) 786-6334 or (718) 786-7042, or by writing to NYC DOT, PrePaid Parking Unit, 34-02 Queens Blvd., Long Island City, NY 11101. Credit Card Payment 1) Insert your card and purchase desired amount of parking time by pressing the blue button. 2) Press the green button to begin the

authorization. If your transaction is approved, a receipt will be generated. If it is not approved, the meter will display “transaction denied.” You should call your card issuer to find out why. 3) Place your receipt on the drivers’ side of your dashboard so that it displays the entire receipt. 4) If your card gets stuck in the machine or does not come out on its own, you can use the red “cancel” knob to eject the card. If your card does not eject, call 311 for assistance. A technician will come to help you. If you cannot wait for your card, call your financial institution and cancel your credit card immediately.
