About Glendale
Glendale is located in Queens Community District 5, and its ZIP Code is 11385, which it has shared with Ridgewood since 1980.
Much of the housing dates to the late 1800s and early 1900s, including semi-detached wood frame houses and townhomes of yellow Kreischer brick.
Liberty Park, developed in the 1920s, is dominated by detached single-family wood-frame houses with driveways and backyards.
Three districts in lower Glendale were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983: 75th Avenue-61st Street, Central Avenue, and Cooper Avenue Row.
We serve Glendale homes in ZIP code 11385.
What This Means for Your Glendale Chimney
Older homes, older flues
Where homes date from before the 1940s, chimneys often have clay tile flues, soft lime mortar or no liner at all, and decades of freeze and thaw open the joints. A yearly inspection catches cracked tiles and failing mortar while the fix is still small. Read: What Is a Clay Flue Liner?
Shared walls and party chimneys
Attached houses often share a chimney stack with the neighbor, with one flue per home. Smoke or water from next door, a blocked shared cap or a leaning stack affects both houses, so we check the whole stack and every flue before we plan a repair. Read: How Does Repair Work on a Shared Chimney?

Glendale is part of Queens County, where half of all homes were built before 1953 and 30.3% date from before 1940. About 62 nights a year drop to freezing here, so a crown crack or loose flashing in Glendale rarely stays small for long. With 45.3 inches of rain and melted snow a year, a chimney cap and a sound crown are what keep water out of the flue.
