Rego Park

Rego Park is in central Queens along Queens Boulevard, between Forest Hills to the east and south, Elmhurst and Corona to the north and Middle Village to the west. Its boundaries are commonly given as Queens Boulevard, the Long Island Expressway, Woodhaven Boulevard and Yellowstone Boulevard. The housing is mostly mid-century apartment buildings. Elevator buildings, many of them co-ops, hold almost three-fifths of all homes. In southern Rego Park, the Crescents, a set of curved streets off Alderton Street, have Tudor and Colonial houses. The 63 Dr–Rego Park station serves the M and R trains. The Rego Center malls anchor shopping. Lost Battalion Hall on Queens Boulevard is a NYC Parks recreation center.

Rego Park has 2,967 open HPD housing violations, 617 of them Class C (immediately hazardous). Inspectors issued 1,334 new violations here in the last 12 months. That's the 46th 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. The station was confirmed inside the polygon (MTA dataset). The Woodhaven Blvd station sits just outside the NTA boundary, so it is not listed. Rego Center was point-checked inside the NTA. PLUTO shows elevator buildings as the largest share of homes. Re-checked 2026-10-12: boundaries, the Crescents off Alderton Street and Rego Center confirmed in Wikipedia. Lost Battalion Hall on Queens Boulevard confirmed on the NYC Parks history page. PLUTO recount: elevator buildings 58% (elevator co-ops alone 32%). 63 Dr station is inside; Woodhaven Blvd is 32 m outside.

“Open” counts every HPD violation not yet recorded as corrected, including old ones owners never certified, so totals can exceed the number of apartments.
