The Central Ridgewood Historic District would mean the landmarking of about 1,000 buildings on Madison St., Catalpa Ave. and other thoroughfares in the rapidly developing neighborhood.
The city will hold a public hearing Wednesday to discuss a historic district set for red-hot Ridgewood in Queens.

The city’s Landmark Preservation Commission voted unanimously to approve the designation in December.
Experts say Ridgewood’s row houses, built mostly by immigrants from Germany in the early 20th Century, have kept their character for over 100 years and merit the distinction.
But city law stipulates that the designation must be reviewed by the Department of City Planning and the City Council.
It would be the fourth historic district in the neighborhood.
The hearing at 22 Reade St. in Manhattan starts at 10 a.m.
