WOODHAVEN BID

Taking Care of Bidness

Welcome to the
Woodhaven Business Improvement District

We are the Woodhaven BID, proudly serving the businesses, residents, and historical places that make Jamaica Avenue, from Dexter Court to 100th Street, the bustling, welcoming commercial heart of the Woodhaven community.

The Woodhaven Business Improvement District was established in 1993 by Woodhaven property owners, business investors, and community leaders to complement, expand, and actively encourage the full retail and commercial development of Woodhaven’s Jamaica Avenue into the new millennium and beyond.

Today, the BID works tirelessly to make Jamaica Avenue a destination where people love to shop, live, and do business. We sponsor exciting programs and memorable community events that bring neighbors together and celebrate the unique spirit of Woodhaven. We also partner with trusted outside vendors to deliver essential services, including regular sanitation and prompt graffiti and vandalism removal, keeping our streets clean, safe, and beautiful for everyone who visits, works, or calls this neighborhood home.

 Our website provides you with everything you need to know: who we are, a searchable database of local merchants, details about our programs and services, and highlights of exciting events happening right here in our neighborhood. We hope you’ll visit often to discover everything we have planned for 2026 and beyond. When you shop local, you’re investing in our community — supporting local jobs, strengthening our neighborhoods, and keeping Woodhaven vibrant and thriving for everyone.

This is just an example of graffiti we report to 311 for removal. We all need to do our part.  Please report it to 311 and our office so we can follow up.  Together we can make Woodhaven cleaner.

⚠️ Heads up, New York City! Another round of severe weather is expected tomorrow, with heavy rain that could lead to flooding. Conditions may be similar to what we experienced this past Saturday, so now is the time to prepare.
 
✅ Get flood barriers, sandbags, or flood alarms if you need them.
✅ Never drive or walk through flooded streets.
✅ If you live in a basement apartment, be prepared to move to higher ground immediately if flooding develops. Do not wait.
 
Stay informed:
📱 Sign up for Basement Apartment Alerts at nyc.gov/basements
📱 Text NotifyNYC to 692-692 to receive emergency alerts.
 
Heavy rain may cause flooding of roads and streets. Be ready to act and move to higher ground during periods of intense rainfall.
