Community Issues
CB12 has been working to address major flooding caused by the restoration of the Southeast Queens water table, previously suppressed by the pumping operations of the Greater Jamaica Water Company. With the closure of the water company, the raised water table has caused sewer infrastructure failures and basement flooding throughout the area.[4] Queens Community Board 12 is also on the front lines of the city's homeless crisis with a disproportionate number in the area.
