New York City Mayor Eric Adams, New York City Police Department (NYPD) Commissioner Jessica S. Tisch, and New York City Department of Design and Construction (DDC) Commissioner Thomas Foley opened the new, nearly $105 million 116th Precinct Station House in Southeast Queens. Located at 244-04 North Conduit Avenue in Rosedale, the 116th Precinct is the first, entirely new NYPD command established in over 10 years with the last one opening in 2013. NYPD officers assigned to the 116th Precinct will patrol the neighborhoods of Rosedale, Springfield Gardens, Brookville, and Laurelton — areas previously covered by either the 105th or the 113th precincts. The new command’s existence will reduce NYPD response times to emergencies and other calls for service, increase visibility of officers throughout Southeast Queens, and enhance overall community-and-police relations. Construction on the station house began in August 2021.
“Every New Yorker should know that they can send their kids to school or shop in their local store and come home safely to their family and their community,” said Mayor Adams. “That is why we have dedicated ourselves to making sure that every New Yorker is safe — and feels safe too. The people of Rosedale, Springfield Gardens, Brookville, and Laurelton are getting the station house they need and deserve, and this new station will deepen the bonds between the NYPD and the community. We will continue to do whatever it takes to keep our communities safe, and ensure New York remains the safest big city in America.”
“This new police precinct greatly enhances the ability of NYPD officers to effectively and efficiently deliver on our core mission of making people safe, making them feel safe, and improving their quality of life,” said NYPD Commissioner Tisch.
The 45,000-square-feet station house is only the second NYPD facility — after the 40th Precinct’s new home in the South Bronx, which opened in November 2024 — to provide a community meeting space replete with furniture, a kitchenette, and audio-visual capabilities. For police personnel, the building features precinct essentials: a muster room for roll call; a front desk; booking, processing, and detention areas; plus spacious common areas and a private stress-reduction room.
