Check out this article, my father used to tell me this when he had some family here, he grew up in what we called Italian Williamsburg, but it is a great article pls check out:
According to some on this board, "it's always been bad".
My parents lived near ENY in the 60s and it was bad back then too. City Line was decent and Ozone Park was virtually indistinguishable from Howard Beach.
Let me guess. Robert Moses or some other evil, sinister white devil waved a magic wand and said, “I now hex this once peaceful prosperous zip code to become a run down war zone, I hereby spread chaos and disfunction among the blacks who we will force to move in to it.”

There is probably a lot more gun violence now than there was years ago but it was a very long time ago if ever that ENY was a great neighborhood. In the early 1960s my grandmother lived in ENY and one day when I was about 5 we had a family gathering at her apartment. While the adults were talking I was looking out the window and I saw a guy break the little side window of my parents’ car in the middle of the afternoon. It was not a great neighborhood.
