Nilda Tirado has lived with her mother and sister in the Waldheim neighborhood in Flushing since 1972 when she and her sister Rosa Tirado bought their house. This was due in part to an anti-discrimination law that had just passed, allowing women to get mortgages. They were the first Puerto Rican family in the neighborhood at a time when Ms. Tirado believes Puerto Ricans had a bad reputation in New York City.
