A statue of Billie Holiday, commissioned by first lady Chirlane McCray’s program to honor female luminaries, is slated to be erected in front of Queens Borough Hall, four miles from the jazz legend’s home in Addisleigh Park in the 1940s.

And that decision has angered leaders in the music-loving neighborhood, which in 2011 was named a historic district and has the slogan “Jazz Lives Here.”

Queens Community Board 12 and the Addisleigh Park Civic Organization have launched a letter-writing campaign to ask McCray to place the Holiday statue in the area where she spent her glory days.

“Children walking by might see it and get interested in who Billie Holiday was and learn about her music,” CB 12 Chair Rene Hill told PIX11 News.

Holiday counted fellow African American greats Jackie Robinson, Fats Waller, Ella Fitzgerald, Count Basie, W.E.B. Du Bois and Ella Fitzgerald as neighbors in the tony enclave during the post World War II-era.

McCray’s office said the SheBuilt statue program was “never intended to be a popularity contest” and noted only nominations made by the public were considered for statues.

“Factors such as location, existing monuments, and site availability were also taken into account,” McCray spokeswoman Siobhan Dingwall told The Post.

“Everyone agrees: there are countless New York City women deserving of recognition, and we look forward to continuing our work with New Yorkers to honor their contributions to our city.”
