ADDABBO GETS TWO NYPD SECURITY CAMERAS AT BABBAGE & BESSEMER STREETS
In response to constituent concerns regarding public safety and quality of life issues at the Babbage and Bessemer Streets in Richmond Hill, Senator Joseph P. Addabbo, Jr. provided funding and worked with the local 102nd police precinct to get two NYPD ARGUS cameras installed.
The cameras have been installed on 84th Avenue; one on Babbage Street and one on Bessemer Street. They went up on May 13, 2026.
“The constituents are the eyes and ears of the community, so when I received complaints and concerns about security and illegal activity at the Babbage and Bessemer site, I immediately took action to correct the situation,” Addabbo said. “I know that more needs to be done, and I am committed to working with the appropriate agencies and local residents to make the necessary improvements.”
The Senator believes that these cameras will act as a deterrent to criminals, especially as the summer months are approaching. Addabbo stated that he will continue to work with the appropriate agencies to make improvements and enhancements to this long-neglected area.
“Our neighborhood has dealt with dangerous and frightening incidents near the train trestle that put lives at risk” the Richmond Hill Block Association said in a statement. “We are incredibly grateful to Senator Joseph P. Addabbo, Jr. for listening to residents and taking swift action to bring police security cameras to this vulnerable area. Neighbors already feel safer knowing their concerns were heard and addressed.”
Senator Addabbo also thanked the MTAPD and NYPD, and Shmira Queens Borough Safety Patrol for its due diligence in increasing patrols in this sensitive area and encouraged them to continue their efforts.

JENNIFER RODRIGUEZ RECOGNIZED AT THE SENATE’S WOMEN OF DISTINCTION CELEBRATION IN ALBANY

Ozone Park Small Business Owner Jennifer Rodriguez Recognized for Entrepreneurship, Resilience, and Community Impact

NYS Senator Joseph P. Addabbo Jr. proudly announces that his 2026 honoree, Jennifer Rodriguez, owner of Sweet Lil Sweets bakery in Ozone Park , was recognized during the Women of Distinction celebration in Albany on Tuesday, May 5, 2026.

A proud Queens native, Ms. Rodriguez represents the spirit of perseverance and dedication that defines so many hardworking women across the district, particularly single mothers balancing family, ambition, and community commitment. As the owner of her small, independent café and dessert shop in Ozone Park, she has transformed a lifelong passion for baking into a thriving, community-centered business.

“Jennifer Rodriguez’s story is one of resilience, courage, and unwavering commitment to both her family and her community,” said Addabbo. “As a small business owner and single mother, she embodies the strength and determination of the women we honor through the Women of Distinction program. Her success is measured by her business and, just as importantly, by the positive impact Jennifer has on the lives of those around her. I am proud to recognize her as my 2026 Women of Distinction honoree.”

Ms. Rodriguez’s story stands as an inspiration to aspiring entrepreneurs and working mothers, proving that with perseverance, passion, and heart, dreams can become reality.

My “Java With Joe” events give me an opportunity to speak one on one with my constituents, such as with my latest one at the Atlantic Diner in South Richmond Hill.

This past weekend, I was grateful the weather cooperated for the School District 27 inaugural Soap Box Derby event, held in Forest Park. I was thankful to be a sponsor and support my district school’s principals, staff, parents and students.
