Bellerose

Bellerose is on the eastern edge of Queens along the Nassau County line. Jericho Turnpike separates it from the villages of Bellerose and Bellerose Terrace in Nassau. The housing is mostly detached houses: one- and two-family houses hold about 76% of its roughly 8,600 homes and fill about 96% of residential lots, and no residential building tops six stories. Hillside Avenue, Jamaica Avenue and Union Turnpike are the main east-west roads, and the Cross Island Parkway runs north-south. The nearest LIRR stations, Bellerose and Elmont, are just over the city line. The 47-acre Queens Farm Park is inside the area.

Bellerose has 1,647 open HPD housing violations, 182 of them Class C (immediately hazardous). Inspectors issued 323 new violations here in the last 12 months. That's the 53rd most open violations of 60 neighborhoods in Queens.
