Living on 87th Street in Brooklyn is an experience shaped by a constant battle against illegal activities and neglect, as evidenced by its dismal F grade and low score. The street is plagued by chronic issues, with illegal parking being the most prevalent, as residents and passersby frequently report vehicles blocking the thoroughfare, sidewalks, and even fire hydrants. This not only creates traffic congestion but also poses a serious safety hazard, as blocked hydrants can hinder firefighters' efforts in case of an emergency. The noise pollution is another significant challenge, with both residential and street-side noise complaints pouring in. Residents often contend with loud music and parties that spill over from nearby establishments or neighbors, disrupting their peace and quiet.

The street's infrastructure also seems to be in a state of disrepair, with graffiti vandalism, derelict vehicles, and missed waste collections adding to the overall sense of neglect. The snow and ice that accumulate during winter further exacerbate the problems, making it difficult for residents to move around safely. Despite the numerous complaints, the response from authorities seems insufficient, with many issues persisting over time. The crime rate is also notably high, with petty larceny and harassment being the top offenses. This creates an environment of unease and insecurity, making it challenging for residents to enjoy their neighborhood to its fullest potential. The surrounding streets, too, share a similarly bleak reputation, with all neighboring streets also receiving an F grade.
