Victims of Superstorm Sandy who are staying in temporary housing aren't expecting room service, but some say that they are living in shocking conditions.

"We're victims of Sandy but we shouldn't have to be punished because of that," a man who identified himself as Monroe, told CBS 2's Steve Langford.

Residents of these temporary lodgings have complained of a lack of heat and problems with infestation.

"The roaches, and a lot of it has to do with, the mice," said one man.
