We all know the streets surge with people. They file onto packed busses and crowded subway trains. But nearly one in 10 New Yorkers comes home to a crowd as well.
Hassan Amafuzel shares a four room apartment with eight people.
"Sleep is the main problem," Amafuzel said. "We cannot sleep. The sound sleep, we cannot sound sleep. That is the problem."
The website StreetEasy reports that 8.9 percent of all city households meet the definition of "crowded," with more than one person per room. That's nearly three times the national average.
The Bronx has the highest percentage of packed households, at 12.4 percent. Staten Island has the lowest.
However, four Queens neighborhoods have the most crowded households in the city. 23 percent of all Corona housing units are crowded. North Corona, East Elmhurst and Jackson Heights are close behind at about 20 percent.

Could it be, that this is the result from the Government paying for the irresponsibility of breeding like rats???
O.k HSA and DOB you have a lot of information to work with here. Now go do your jobs! Shut down all of these illegal housing structures!
"Crowded households are concentrated in neighborhoods with large immigrant populations."... There goes that word 'immigrant' without the 'illegal' before it.
I'm gonna be refreshing this one all day just for the comments.
No shit. Answer, easy, get rid of the illegals. Deport, not support!
Life in a sanctuary city, embrace the suck!!
Yet you , your neighbors, family and friends continue to elect the same crooks and frauds to office.
Oh well give them all the right to vote and watch things improve.

Enforcing "EXISTING" laws should be the main concern before all of this becomes a public health issue.
Nothing against anybody, but if one of us went to some of the countries they come from "ILLEGALLY" we would be beaten, jailed and then deported.
On our block of attached one-family houses, new owners who recently purchased the houses converted basements and garages into apartments which they rent out to families of several people. With so many xtra people living in a small house, there are more new, large electrical appliances or other gadgets that draw a lot of electricity. Houses are old, electrical systems have not been upgraded. As there is no heat in the basement, I think that space heaters are used. Someone is making money, and other homeowners need to worry about their safety.
Stop building housing and they will stop coming. WTF?? All we do is construct more and more shitty housing with rusty balconies. We need to start putting up "No Vacancies" next to the Welcome to Queens sign.
The problem is that we have become a 'Sanctuary City'. We allowed this to happen by voting for radical liberal progressives who don't think things through. Places like Corona are inhabitable and are getting more crowded by the day as more illegal immigrants arrive on a daily basis. Our weak minded politicians like State Senator Peralta, or Julissa Ferreiras have stopped caring. The city council just got a big raise but what about the hard working tax payer?? All we ask is that you pass & enforce fair laws that will make our communities better. We don't want the city to return to the dark ages of 70's & 80's.
IT"S TIME TO VOTE DIBLASIO AND HIS CRONIES OUT OF OFFICE!!
These feral people cannot control themselves and refuse to use birth control. They can breed like rabbits, get protection's and rewards for it in New York.
That's why they come here.
Ask any NYC school teacher: The average Central American female is pregnant and out of school by age 15, and she will have children till her health declines or uterus falls out. Live 8+ to a room and have sex with different men right in front the children just like mom. The teenage males like to rape and that seems to be accepted in that culture also--BUT NOT BIRTH CONTROL !!
This is just crazy and there is NO WAY of paying for this future 100 million lifetimes of welfare without becoming a socialist country confiscating money & property from the middle class.
These people are going to sink us like they did there shit overpopulated poverty & crime ridden country's back home.
The Honorable Borough President Melinda Katz says this is the "Worlds" Borough.
Come one and all...
They sleep in shifts, four to a bed, curry cook and taxi mechanic always at hend
When will BP Katz say something about this? Shes always shouting "if it's good for our families ,it's good for Queens". Well?????
My attached, 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom house in Jackson Heights may be the ONLY one on my block to be occupied by ONLY 2 people: me and the wife.
On second thought, it may be the only house in ALL of Queens to have 3 bedrooms, and only 2 occupants.
The other 2 "guest" bedrooms are there for when the grandkids come to visit.
My 2 car garage houses our cars, so I don't have be spend all day looking for parking spots (which are non-existent anyhow), due to all the teachers that park from the nearby Louis Armstrong School.
Being retired, and living on social security I could sure use some extra money!
But there is NO WAY, NO HOW that I would EVER consider allowing any other people to live in my house....
We all know that Queens, like many parts of NYC are getting crowded (majorly crowded) and we all know that many places in Queens have been looking like third world shit holes for some time, with garbage, cheap, shitty third world multi-dwellings with rusty balconies, garbage cans piled sky high & overflowing and filled with tons of low-calls people, mostly immigrants from third world shit hole countries that pack as many people into an apartment that they can.
Besides this all becoming a major eyesore and looking like a Bangladesh slum, there are major safety issues involved as well as taxing an already taxed infrastructure and of course producing noise and nonsense. Many of these places have tons of illegal conversions, many have more people that are legally permitted in an apartment. And let's not forget should one of these nasty bugs, especially from other countries, take hold here, we are all in deep "Armageddon" shit.
Yes, Queens is the World Borough, the third world borough filled with shit and looking like it too.
The time is near to high tail it not only out of this borough, but New York all together.
You ain't seen nothing yet. So be prepared with your emergency kit. Make a plan now because NYC is going to eventually implode like you have never seen it.
You heard it here.
"I will build a great wall — and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me —and I'll build them very inexpensively. I will build a great, great wall on our southern border, and I will make Mexico pay for that wall. Mark my words."

build the damn wall and deport them ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
VOTE TRUMP
The Washington Examiner is reporting the administration has decided to let immigrants with three STDs (sexually transmitted diseases) known for causing sores or lesions on genitalia to enter the United States, an expansion of a previous decision to let in those with HIV.
they get OBAMACARE
we get to pay for treatment
that new AIDS medicine is really expensive
RECORD-BREAKING NUMBERS OF CHILDREN SNEAKING ACROSS BORDER
FLOW OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT CHILDREN INTO U.S. EXPECTED TO RISE IN 2016
The flow of illegal immigrant children into US expected to rise to record-breaking numbers in 2016.
deportations decrease, per US Senate Judiciary Committee.
At least 20,455 unaccompanied minors were caught during fiscal year 2016.
The number of illegal minors could eclipse a massive 2014 surge that strained the DHS.
illegal border crossings surge
children being deported from US is declining
Obama admin lost track of scores of immigrant, many released have not gone through thorough background checks.
a lot of these minors are nowhere to be found.
Obama deported just 4,680 of more than 127,000 minors who were apprehended on the border during the past two-and-a-half years.
We’re having an increase … this year, TWICE as many unaccompanied minors are entering the country as last year
The president’s answer is to assume basically that every child is a victim of an asylum type danger and entitled to enter the U.S.
if caught, they should be treated fairly and sent home,
That’s what the law says.
That’s what the American people want.
But we have an administration that’s undermining every day the ability of that system to work.”
“It cannot be that every young person that appears from Central America is entitled to asylum or entry into the United States, contrary to our laws,” “It just cannot be.”
once a child is released from custody it can be difficult to compel them to appear before immigration judges for deportation proceedings.
make room - there's more coming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And this City, this State, votes overwhelmingly Democratic.
Like someone on this blog eloquently once wrote "The People have Spoken, Now the People shall Suffer."
Fucking Hopeless.
Fabian Socialism - Socialism with a Smile.
Time to start deporting! That will solve most of our problems here!
Remember when politicians were all about CARBON FOOTPRINT,GLOBAL WARMING
Yes,that lasted about one year,but not to worry,all incumbents will win reelection,No Problem

Bill is making it way up to place a heavy tax on underused rooms (underused space) in private houses. I would not be bragging census people will be collecting a bonus to collect this information. Once the info is in you can bet your ass the bill will come up for a vote and pass.
You will then be given a choice to "pay up" or fill them, with the city bringing you people if you cant find on your own.
BTW a good one in three these folks coming in from Africa under Obamas new plan above have AIDS and cost $250,000 a year in medication cocktails alone !!!
1000s will be dumped in New York City before Trump takes office.
Hey, were these the neighborhoods that voted for the mayor's zoning proposal - along with Astoria?
Figures. on both accounts.
anyone not rich and with brains got out of nyc a long time ago. The ones who stayed but had the means to get out deserve what they now have.

Wasn't Jackson Heights considered hot once. I believe they squeezed out an affordable clothing store and replaced it with a Banana Republic.
Oh, and despite what is common knowledge and a tragic open secret about multiple dwellings and overpopulation in those 4 areas, be wary of streeteasy's liberal methods of compiling stats. This is the same site that jacks up AMI's in real estate and developer interest and also considered Jamaica to be a hot and thriving town.
And Stringer has his hands full, because with one's version of overcrowding, the hazards in them and all those pesky violations, there is also one's version of a "commune"

and it's fucking here, inflating the cost of living, making livelihoods worse, raising fears of displacement, inflaming tensions, causing a big giant ass divide.

For now, we have to settle for a Paradox City.
I left NYC a little under a year ago now, and from time to time, i still come back to this site to read up, and to share this message:
GET OUT! Leave, and you will never look back. For your own safety, and sanity, get out.
My brothers and sisters, leave.
I thought i would miss NY. I thought i would miss my home city, where i was born. Where my parents were born. Where my grandparents were born.
I do not.
I visited a few weeks ago, and my god, its like i have new eyes. I always new it was dirty. I always knew it was filled with bums and parasites. I always knew it was crowded, noisy, and smelly.
But i didnt know. I didnt know because i didnt have any outside perspective.
So please, please leave. Your live will be a better one.
We decided to get out got the day a Mexicans moved in. They immediately had junk looking cars leaking oil in the street and put a loud crowing rooster in the yard. That thing was so loud you can hear it over the roofs out on the front street. The 104 PCT cops didn't do shit. Woman cop called asked if I was a "racist" and said "call code enforcement its not a police matter at this time"
Dear Trump lovers,
Trump says everyone he deports can come back in legally. If you truly want illegals deported and not allowed back in, you'd vote for Cruz.

Do tell shill about the fake as a Three Dollar bill Canadian born "establishment candidate".
Getting desperate to show up here an ask for votes? Is getting really that bad?
"Hassan Amafuzel shares a four room apartment with eight people."
That's 2 people to a room. That's hardly crowded. Didn't this whiner have siblings growing up? We wished we could only be two to a room!
So sleeping in the kitchen is ok? This is a 1-bedroom he's talking about.
--Cruz is fulla shit (another bible packing bleeding heart F_ing republicrat like
f_cking Bush's 1 and 2. Both who rolled over or put on knee pads every time the Pope, the clergy or Vicente Fox came calling.
Most of us won’t be getting fooled this time around!!!
Face it, these bible packing conservatives have done nothing but establish they are debauched as democrats with this "Welcome the Stranger" bible packing bullshit and cheap labor!! Let’s not forget inserting Paul Ryan as speaker of the house (the same jackass who cast the passing vote for Obamacare) These dopes NEVER seem to learn and continue making the same mistakes !!
Trump is the solitary personage who knows voters real live problems best not some Congressman living is a gated Virginia community with armed guards. Trump also has the balls. Trump isn't afraid of Vatican propaganda, the Pope or some Christian church desperate to re-seed the flock with these mega breeding wild locusts consuming & destroying everything in sight including my healthcare.

Hey Trump loving pinheads, Trump is a lying piece of crap. But you Trumpettes just look at his stupid tweets and watch his free advertising via the media instead of actually looking under the hood to see what he believes in. Thanks to lemmings like you, it looks very likely he'll win. Enjoy your billionaire crybaby.

Call Obama/Jeh Johnson DHS. They are pushing all the world's freeloading illegal immigrants and U.A.Children from S.A. into local schools and communities.1 child = $20,000 per seat /year ,from your taxes. in 1776,the signors of the Declaration of Independence(FRANCIS LEWIS)revolted against the King. A war was fought,because of TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION. Is not Obama "A KING" ?With his EXECUTIVE ORDERS ?
Last anon re:trump links
thank you
maybe avid supporters would like to enroll in his business school. If it still exists.
Trump's destruction of the GOP establishment and perpetual willful ignorance aside. He is still a shit-talker. That's why he's winning. Because the majority of people talk shit and don't have the money to back it up.
So you have their guy who is the embodiment of the citizens united decision. Corporation as person and money as speech in total manifestation. With a heavy assist from a culture bereft of morality enabled by reality tv programming and voila, the frontrunner.
