Tudor Park which took its name from the neighborhood of Tudor Village and its collection of Tudor style houses which were built in 1929. This area bounded by 80th and 83rd Streets, 133rd Avenue and the North Conduit was named for Joseph Addabbo in 1986 under a local law introduced by Council Member Walter Ward and signed by Mayor Edward I. Koch.

He supported legislation in support of the elderly, education, small businesses, veterans benefits and appropriation of funds for economically depressed areas.
