Gurino crew is also quite large ! Genovese, believe it or not has about 26 active crews and I believe the total numbers of active,semi active,retired are underestimated and have close to 285-300 members !The recruitment pool is pretty big still in HB/OZP For the Gambinos ! Between Middle village,HB,Ozp,Glendale,ridgewood,maspeth the Queens crews and associates are GIGANTIC !


Ozone Park hardly has any Italians left. There is a small pocket of Italians along Linden Boulevard. Hardly a recruitment area at all anymore.

Seems like half of Howard Beach is up for sale, too.

Middle Village and a bit of Maspeth are still Italian but tend to have more Bonanno's.

Whitestone and Bayside are heavily Italian, and a bit of College Point.

I just don't see how it is demographically possible for there to be "small armies" of crews in ozone/HB anymore.
