Queensboro Hill

Queensboro Hill is the southern part of Flushing, roughly between College Point Boulevard and Kissena Boulevard. Kissena Park and Kissena Corridor Park are to the north, and the Long Island Expressway is to the south. Most of the housing went up between 1940 and 1974. Two-family houses hold about half of all homes, and one-family houses and low walk-up buildings make up most of the rest. NewYork-Presbyterian/Queens hospital is in the area, as is the Queensboro Hill Community Church. Part of Kissena Corridor Park runs through it. There is no subway station inside the area. The 7 train and LIRR at Flushing–Main Street are about a kilometer north.

Queensboro Hill has 1,916 open HPD housing violations, 255 of them Class C (immediately hazardous). Inspectors issued 461 new violations here in the last 12 months. That's the 52nd most open violations of 60 neighborhoods in Queens.

Fact-checked October 12, 2026

Location checked against the 2020 NTA boundaries (NYC Open Data 9nt8-h7nd). Housing mix = share of residential units by PLUTO building class for the 2020 census tracts in this NTA (tract-to-NTA equivalency hm78-6dwm); PLUTO year-built values for older buildings are often estimates. Boundaries come from the Flushing article. The hospital location was checked inside the NTA polygon. Kissena Corridor Park overlaps the NTA (NYC Parks Properties). The distance to Flushing–Main St was measured from the boundary (MTA dataset). Re-checked 2026-10-12: boundaries, NewYork-Presbyterian/Queens and Queensboro Hill Community Church confirmed in the Flushing article. PLUTO recount: two-family 53%, 66% built 1940-74. Flushing-Main St (7) measured 986 m from the boundary.
