Ozone Park (North), Queens

Ozone Park (North)'s tax-lot records show two-family homes as the clear majority building type: 52% of recorded structures, more than double the 20% recorded as one-family classifications and well above the 14% recorded as walk-up apartment buildings. That two-family concentration is the highest recorded among the neighborhoods profiled in this cluster, and the underlying parcel file carries no flagged data gaps, so every share below rests on a complete recorded set of roughly 3,900 lots. Nowhere else in this group of neighborhoods does a single building classification claim as large a majority of the recorded stock as two-family construction does here, a distinction that holds even against neighborhoods with a similar overall lot count and a similarly prewar-heavy construction timeline.

The building stock is also heavily prewar: 79% of buildings predate 1940, and the median building dates to 1920. Only 10% was built during the 1945-to-1975 postwar boom, and 5% has gone up since 2000. Land-use coding runs 72% one- and two-family use, 14% multi-family walk-up, and 6% mixed residential-and-commercial, consistent with the two-family-heavy building-class figures above and with the age of the stock they describe — a pattern of small-scale, two-family construction that predates most of the citywide postwar building wave and has stayed largely intact since.

Lots run a median of 2,400 square feet, with the largest on record reaching 4,964 square feet. Recorded floor area sits below the district's current allowance on 82% of lots, with a median residual of 0.4 in floor-area-ratio terms. The median building height holds at 2 stories, with 0% of recorded structures above 6 floors, and both flood exposure and historic-district status read 0% here — figures about the current regulatory map and designation record, not a claim about the land beyond what's on file. Nothing in the flood or landmark record complicates the otherwise straightforward, low-rise, two-family picture described above, and the same holds true for every neighboring file bordering it in this cluster.

Residential use covers 92% of lots, together holding 7,896 housing units on record across roughly 3,900 parcels. Cypress Hills and East New York-City Line in Brooklyn border the neighborhood along with Ozone Park, Richmond Hill, South Ozone Park, South Richmond Hill, and Woodhaven in Queens, each maintaining a separate lot-by-lot file, several sharing the same two-family-dominant pattern recorded at the center of this one, though none quite matching its particular concentration or its overall prewar construction timeline.
