175 Kent Apartments

Bindu Reddy

Updated review: The response from management is not at par with the expectations for a luxury apartment. Both my daughters work at home and the three times this happened has disrupted work and created a lot of anxiety. When solid sewage back flowed into our bathrooms from other apartments last month, we asked for a full reimbursement of expenses; however, we didn't have the time or energy to pursue a reimbursement for hotel or products lost to the extent we are now. We were reimbursed $150 last time and we let it go. We spent well over that, hired our own cleaners for $400 and replaced all products and stayed in a hotel until the cleaning was completed. The situation repeated within a month and we believe that you didn't engage professional third party services to monitor and prevent the current situation from happening. We again paid out of pocket for a hotel stay, deep cleaning, and replaced hair and body products that were sitting in solid sewage in the shower. At this point, management says they have sanitized the bathroom bottles and we should be able to use them. Seriously, would you? Imagine retailers salvaging bottles of products from sewage overflow and trying to restock their shelves? When we refused, they offered $75 in compensation even less than last time. The management is aware of the actual cost of the products and also is aware that this is the second time we have had to replace the products. In addition, expecting two young ladies to go to random apartment to use the bathrooms instead of compensating for a hotel stay is again confounding. To add to the angst, as per management, this is still an open situation and could recur. We would expect that management will take adequate steps to monitor frequently so that they can figure out how to prevent this from happening again. —————————————- Previous review: It happened again today!!! Solid Sewage is flooding bathrooms again. Multiple apartments in our floor are affected as before. The flooding is not because of anything we did. The sewage is back flowing even though they didn’t use the bathrooms yet this morning. It’s a repeat of last time. My daughters have been living here for over a year. This is the second time within two months that sewage has over flown into both bathrooms. Last time we had to replace all the products that my daughters had in their bathrooms and shower curtains and mats etc and they had to stay in a hotel for 2 nights. The plumbing crews that were sent did not get it right initially and they had to send crews multiple times to fix the sewage flooding issue. After the leak was fixed they sent a cleaning crew that did not deep clean. We had to again spend our own money to deep clean the affected areas. Ultimately a stressful and costly experience. Management did not compensate for any of these expenses.

I loved living at 175 Kent. There is a lot of light in the units. Clean building. Doormen are lovely and so helpful. Best location. And Brandon the manager is excellent. On top of things and very proactive.

I hand the most insightful wonderful experience with Brandon Castro of Equity earlier today. A joy to speak with. He was kind understanding patient and listened to my needs / wants and understood my POV. He offered ideal solutions handled his approach with humor class and intelligence. Brandon Castro is one of the best real estate folks I have encountered in my 3 decades in NYC. KE

Have loved living here the last 3 months. The building is well taken care of and the staff are super friendly and helpful. The location right by the water makes for some nice afternoon strolls, too!
