Missing enumeration of Union St. in Flushing, Queens, NY in 1940 census?

I am looking for the resident of 42-42 Union St, Flushing, Queens, NY in 1940. I tried searching the 1940 census ancestry.com, restricting the search to Flushing with the street name as union (exact). I came up with 70 matches, some on Union Street, and others on Union Turnpike, but the Union Street house numbers were mostly 46-xx, 47-xx, and a couple of 45-xxs. Nothing higher, nothing lower. Removing Flushing from the city constraint does not help much: it returns a couple of families on Union Hall street, and one on Union Tpke

I have tried to use http://stevemorse.org/ to find the right enumeration district, but it doesn't seem to have a viable street-level index for Queens.

Is this a case of poor indexing? Where are the other addresses on Union street? How do I find them?
