Fact-checked October 12, 2026

Re-verified 2026-10-12 by independent recompute: PLUTO 26v2 Queens residential lots (unitsres>0) point-in-polygon against the 2020 NTA boundaries (9nt8-h7nd); unit shares by building class (A/B one- and two-family, C walk-up, D elevator, R condo), share of residential lots that are one- or two-family, and max numfloors all matched the stated rounded figures. Subway stations re-matched by point-in-polygon on MTA Subway Stations (39hk-dx4f); LIRR stations checked against the LIRR GTFS stops file; park acreage and location re-checked in Parks Properties (enfh-gkve). Wikipedia facts re-read on the cited articles. 897 acres is the 2013 survey figure in the article (Parks Properties GIS lists 870.76 acres for the mapped property). Retains much of the 1939 layout per the article. PLUTO shows zero residential units. Mets-Willets Point (7 and LIRR) and Kew Gardens-Union Tpke fall inside the NTA boundary. Reworded the LIRR sentence to avoid implying a service pattern.
