87 Hill Street, Brooklyn, NY 11208

87 Hill Street is a three-story, three-unit residential building located in Cypress Hills, constructed in 1905 and currently owned by Chris Mohammed. The building has experienced various maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in early 2021, when multiple violations were documented across different systems including electrical (outlets/switches), doors, plumbing (bathtub/shower, basin/sink), flooring, and a heavy water leak.

The building also experienced a heat and hot water outage in December 2020, though services were reportedly restored shortly thereafter. More recently, the building's history shows improvements in pest management, with the most recent bedbug reports from 2023-2025 indicating zero infestations in the past two years, following some eradications in prior years. The property underwent inspection in 2023 which resulted in a violation related to annual bedbug reporting requirements, though this appears to have been the only current violation noted.

Earlier violations from 2021-2022 included issues with a freestanding radiator in a third-story public hall, and various interior repairs needed in Apartment 1 including problems with plaster surfaces and paint, as well as door and closet issues. The building's recent maintenance record shows fewer emergency complaints, with only one documented water leak in 2021 (still open as of initial inspection), and no recorded rat activity since 2019, suggesting some improvements in general maintenance conditions. A complaint regarding work without a permit was filed in March 2021, but the inspector was unable to gain access to evaluate the situation.
