    Review Summary for 167 Sands Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 167 Sands Street reveal a building with a strong location near Dumbo and convenient transit access, enhanced by attentive doormen and a live-in superintendent. Residents appreciate the building's reasonable pricing and security features. However, persistent pest issues, especially rat infestations, and aging infrastructure are significant concerns. Heat and temperature control problems, occasional noise due to proximity to the BQE, and limited natural light in some units are noted drawbacks. While management responsiveness is generally seen as adequate, renters suggest increased maintenance and pest control efforts to improve living conditions. Overall, the building offers good value but needs infrastructure and pest management upgrades.
