87 Stockton Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The three-unit residential building at 87 Stockton Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Pearl Mutzen, has experienced significant maintenance challenges since construction in 2007. In May 2023, the property faced multiple serious issues, including sewage problems, mold outbreaks, and water leaks, with violations issued for the sewage, mold, and heavy water flow issues. Additional concerns during this period included pest infestations and a cooking gas issue in April 2023, though inspections could not be completed for these complaints.

The building has documented open violations as of April 2024, including failure to file an annual bedbug report and multiple maintenance issues in the first-floor apartment, such as broken plaster surfaces, water leak problems, and mold presence in the bathroom. The property has a history of regulatory scrutiny, with several open violations related to outdoor advertising and signage in 2023, including illegal signs and failure to obtain proper permits. Previous investigations revealed past concerns about illegal conversions, with conflicting outcomes regarding access for inspections.

While recent rodent inspections from 2022 to 2025 generally show compliance with regulations, a failed inspection in November 2023 and a rat activity report in January 2022 indicate some ongoing challenges in pest management. Despite these issues, the building has maintained a passing rate for most rodent inspections, with the most recent inspections in 2024-2025 showing compliance. The property is also subject to various enforcement actions, with multiple violation notices indicating historical challenges with compliance and correction of hazardous conditions.
