    Review Summary for 90 Sands Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 90 Sands Street, Brooklyn, highlight a well-maintained building with strong water pressure, good heating, and 24-hour security. Tenants appreciate included utilities, laundry facilities, a gym, and iconic views. However, many express significant concerns about the tenant community, noting issues with drug use, disruptive neighbors, and related safety concerns that affect cleanliness and overall comfort. Garbage management is generally good, but ongoing problems with smoking, vandalism, and disturbances persist. Renters advise stricter tenant accountability and improved management of problematic behaviors to enhance living conditions. Despite these challenges, some approve of the owner’s responsiveness and the building’s amenities but do not recommend it due to social environment issues.

    Supportive housing mixed with lottery tenants
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Really affordable rent
    Great apt
    Soundproof from the outside
    Utilities all included
    Free WiFi (not too great though)
    Laundry in building
    Small gym
    Iconic views
    24 hour doormen
    Cons:
    The people…supportive housing
    Building gets cleaned regularly but tenants are always drunk or on drugs, like living with the homeless in your building so it’s dirty everyday
    People smoke too so it smells heavily like smoke sometimes
    They hang outside in the front so entering and leaving is not pleasant either
    People are definitely selling drugs as people knock on the same door for a few mins and then leave..
    Beautiful building but the tenants simply don’t take care of it & spit in the elevators and leave junk/cigarettes whenever
    Ambulance seen often from people who are high on drugs…
    Advice to owner:
    Call out the drug dealers & handle the crazys better because there’s good intentions to this building concept but some people don’t want to be helped/are clearly getting deeper into a bad place/cycle being perpetuated from their neighbors/dealers
