    Review Summary for 1 Chester Court
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent renters at 1 Chester Court, Brooklyn, note its prime location near Prospect Park and convenient transit options as a major plus. Long-term tenants appreciate the attentive superintendent and generally responsive management. However, significant concerns include inadequate heating in winter, persistent pest infestations—particularly bedbugs and roaches—and poor overall cleanliness. Noise levels and occasional water damage further detract from comfort. Garbage management is mostly well-handled, and water pressure is generally strong. Rent stabilization is a benefit for some residents, but management's inconsistent responsiveness and ongoing maintenance issues suggest a need for better upkeep to improve tenant satisfaction.

    It’s too cold
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Cheap rent since I was in a rent stabilized apartment
    Cons:
    It’s cold in the winter time. I’ve been living here for years and ever since Jeremy management took over we are COLD. The heat comes up for 5 minutes barely enough to really warm the apartment. Don’t bother renting here. My electricity bill ended up being three times the amount in the wintertime since I was forced to buy a space heater. And yes, we called 311. Someone came but no changes in the heat.
    Advice to owner:
    Turn up the heat

    Great location! Near prospect park and two trains.
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The superintendent is the best. Very kind and super responsive.
    Cons:
    When I moved in I had bedbug issues and roaches. Both are resolved. Been here for 3years now.
