130 East 87th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11236

The three-story, two-family house at 130 East 87th Street in East Flatbush, owned by Daret Escoe and constructed in 1960, has experienced several concerning incidents over recent years, with the most pressing issues revolving around heating system problems. In late 2019 and early 2020, there were multiple complaints regarding inadequate heat and hot water, though inspectors from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) were unable to gain access to the apartments during their investigations of these emergency situations.

Additional maintenance issues were documented during this period, including concerns with window frames and plumbing in the bathtub/shower, though these were classified as either emergency or non-emergency issues and were eventually closed between February 2020 and November 2019. More recently, from early 2022 through late 2022, there were three consecutive complaints regarding illegal hotel rooms in the building, all of which were recorded under the location "11236," though the building's actual address is listed as 130 East 87th Street.

These complaints generated significant concern about potential unauthorized short-term rentals in the residential building, but in each case, inspectors were unable to gain access during their attempts to verify the claims. The most recent of these complaints was logged in December 2022, with the inspection taking place on January 19, 2023, though access was denied for a second time. All three illegal room complaints were officially closed, but the repeated pattern of access denial raises questions about compliance with building regulations and resident safety standards.
