Review Summary for Chung Hwa Tenants Corp
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Tenant reviews for CHUNG HWA TENANTS CORP buildings, particularly at 167 Sands Street, Brooklyn, reveal a mixed management experience. The location near Dumbo and transit is a strength, with tenants appreciating doormen and decent community safety. However, persistent pest infestations, including rats and roaches, are a major concern. Heating and temperature control are often problematic, and some units show signs of aging infrastructure. Owner responsiveness varies but is generally moderate to timely. Tenants suggest a need for pest control improvements and building updates to address noise and window issues. Overall, management is somewhat attentive but must better address maintenance and pest problems.

Eclectic Cantonese-owned co-op with best value in Dumbo area
Former Tenant
Pros:
Prices for units in this building cannot be beat to be in Dumbo/Downtown Brooklyn. Live-in super and doormen add nice on-site support for any issues.
Cons:
It's an old building, and proximity to BQE can lead to noise pollution at night for light sleepers if facing the wrong way.
