Far Rockaway

Far Rockaway Water Damage Restoration

Far Rockaway is one of the most historically distinguished and distinctively significant Rockaway Peninsula neighborhoods in Queens, with approximately 55,000 residents living across a substantial established landscape positioned at the eastern end of the Rockaway Peninsula along the Atlantic Ocean waterfront in southern Queens. The neighborhood is essentially defined by its extraordinary Rockaway Peninsula position, its extraordinary Atlantic Ocean waterfront position, its distinguished substantial African-American residential heritage, its distinguished substantial Hispanic-American residential heritage, its extraordinary distinguished substantial Jewish community heritage (particularly in the Bayswater and Far Rockaway sections, with substantial Orthodox Jewish community heritage and substantial Sabbath and Jewish holiday observance considerations), its significant Hurricane Sandy 2012 storm history (Far Rockaway experienced substantial devastating storm surge flooding during Hurricane Sandy in October 2012 with substantial property damage and displacement throughout the community and one of the most heavily impacted communities in the entire New York City area), its home to the substantial Bayswater Point State Park (a distinguished substantial preserved public waterfront park), its position adjacent to Rockaway Beach, its position along Rockaway Beach Boulevard, Central Avenue, and Beach Channel Drive commercial corridors, its distinctive diverse cultural district character, and its distinguished substantial multi-family character. The community is anchored by the extraordinary Atlantic Ocean waterfront, the substantial Bayswater Point State Park, significant residential property throughout including substantial single-family residential homes, substantial dense multi-family construction (particularly public housing and dense apartment buildings), some preserved historic architecture, substantial Orthodox Jewish community religious institutional property in the Bayswater and Far Rockaway sections, substantial ethnic commercial districts along Rockaway Beach Boulevard and Central Avenue reflecting the substantial African-American, Hispanic-American, and Jewish communities, and commercial property along the substantial Rockaway Beach Boulevard, Central Avenue, and Beach Channel Drive commercial corridors. The neighborhood is positioned along Rockaway Beach Boulevard, Central Avenue, Beach Channel Drive, Seagirt Boulevard, and Cross Bay Boulevard providing extensive transportation corridor access. The community has a substantially diverse population defined by distinguished substantial African-American residential heritage plus distinguished substantial Hispanic-American residential heritage plus extraordinary substantial Orthodox Jewish community heritage plus established professional, working-class, and diverse residential populations. The housing stock combines substantial single-family residential homes with substantial dense multi-family construction (particularly public housing and dense apartment buildings) and some preserved historic architecture. The Atlantic Ocean waterfront creates significant catastrophic flood exposure for properties during major weather events, with catastrophic historical precedent from Hurricane Sandy 2012.
