Homes in Cypress Hills (11208)
Cypress Hills sits where Brooklyn meets Queens, with attached brick and frame rowhouses, many 2- and 3-family homes, and newer houses built in East New York in recent decades. Owner-occupied multi-family homes are common, so the number of units, tenant use and liability limits are the details that matter most.
What a Cypress Hills homeowners policy covers
A standard homeowners policy (HO-3) bundles several coverages into one. We walk you through each limit before you buy.
Dwelling
The structure of your home, including roof, walls, floors and built-in systems, against fire, wind, hail, theft and other covered causes.
Other structures
Detached garages, sheds and fences, usually up to 10% of your dwelling limit.
Personal property
Furniture, clothing, electronics and other belongings, at home or away.
Loss of use
Hotel, rent and extra living costs if your home can’t be lived in after a covered loss.
Personal liability
Legal and medical costs if someone is hurt on your property or you accidentally damage someone else’s property.
Medical payments
Small medical bills for guests injured at your home, regardless of fault.
Coverage to think about in Cypress Hills
3-family homes
Make sure the policy is written for 3 families; some carriers stop at 2 units on a homeowners form.
Loss of rent
Replaces rental income if a covered loss forces tenants out.
Sidewalk and liability
Rental and mixed-use properties don’t get NYC’s owner-occupied sidewalk exemption, so liability limits matter.
Older rowhouses
Updated roofs, wiring and boilers widen your carrier options.
Broker tip: If you added or legalized a unit, tell us. The number of families on your policy should match your certificate of occupancy.

Homeowners insurance questions from Cypress Hills
Do you insure homes in Brooklyn even though your office is in Queens?
Yes. We insure homes across Brooklyn, Queens, Long Island and all of New York State. Cypress Hills is a short drive from our office on Jamaica Avenue.
Can a 3-family home get a homeowners policy?
Many carriers write owner-occupied homes up to 4 families on a homeowners form; others stop at 2. If you don’t live there, a landlord (dwelling fire) policy is the right fit.
Who is responsible for the sidewalk in front of my house?
In NYC, property owners are generally responsible for the sidewalk, with a limited exemption for owner-occupied 1–3 family homes used only as residences. Liability coverage protects you if someone is hurt.
Which ZIP codes do you cover in this area?
11208 (Cypress Hills and East New York), 11207 next door, Woodhaven (11421) across the line, and the rest of Brooklyn.
How much is homeowners insurance in Cypress Hills?
It depends on the age and construction of the house, rebuild cost, number of families, the age of the roof and systems, claims history, flood and coastal exposure, and the deductible you choose. Because we compare several carriers, we can usually show you more than one price for the same coverage. Call (347) 817-7771 or use our home insurance form for an exact quote.
What’s the difference between an HO-3 and an HO-5 policy?
Both cover your house against all causes of loss except those the policy excludes. An HO-5 also covers your belongings that broadly, usually at replacement cost, so it’s wider coverage and costs more. Not every carrier offers HO-5 on every home.
Does homeowners insurance cover flooding?
No. Flood from surface water is excluded from standard homeowners policies. It’s a separate policy through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) or a private flood carrier, and we can quote it alongside your home.
