Glen Oaks, Floral Park & New Hyde Park

This area is the far eastern edge of Queens, running up to the Nassau County line; the Queens neighborhoods of Floral Park and New Hyde Park here are separate from the Nassau villages with similar names. About 91% of residential lots in PLUTO data are one-family houses, but many homes are in larger complexes: Glen Oaks Village, a garden-apartment co-op established in 1947, and North Shore Towers, a high-rise complex built in the 1970s. There is no subway; the Q36, Q46 and Q48 local buses serve the area, and the nearest LIRR stations, Floral Park and Bellerose, are just across the county line. Glen Oaks Oval, a park of about 3 acres inside a traffic circle at 260th Street and 74th Avenue, is a local landmark.

Glen Oaks, Floral Park & New Hyde Park has 432 open HPD housing violations, 54 of them Class C (immediately hazardous). Inspectors issued 99 new violations here in the last 12 months. That's the 59th most open violations of 60 neighborhoods in Queens.
