    Review Summary for 87-40 165 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 87-40 165 Street in Queens highlight its convenient location within Jamaica as a key benefit. However, tenants consistently report issues including poor heating, maintenance delays, and inadequate pest control. Cleanliness and garbage management receive mixed feedback, with some finding these aspects lacking. Noise levels and neighbor interactions vary but often lean towards average or below, and water pressure is noted as weak in several reviews. Accessibility concerns, particularly lack of wheelchair access, are raised. Many renters express dissatisfaction with owner responsiveness and urge management to improve maintenance and tenant care for a better living experience.
