Reviews

The superintendent, concierge and maintenance staff receive strong praise for fast day-to-day help, even from residents who criticize management. Larger disputes over billing, move-in condition and apartment access appear harder to resolve and shape most of the negative feedback.

What residents praise

The building staff respond quickly

Residents repeatedly praise the superintendent and front desk for warm service and same-day help with repairs, packages and move logistics.

The location makes errands easy

Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, the waterfront and the Bedford Avenue L train are all within a practical walk.

The roof and apartment basics are useful

Residents value the large roof deck, in-unit laundry, clean common areas and generally quiet neighbors.

What residents complain about

Electric bills have been unusually high

Several residents describe estimated monthly charges of $600 or more and say management did not clearly explain or correct the metering problem.

Move-in condition and larger repairs need scrutiny

Residents report arriving to dirty or malfunctioning apartments, with pests, leaks, heating problems and repeated weeks of repair appointments in some homes.

Management communication can break down

Critical accounts describe slow replies, unclear move coordination, disputed deductions and one case of prospective tenants receiving access after the resident declined tours.

Amenities

175 Kent has in-unit laundry, central air and an attended lobby. Residents have a bi-level fitness center with yoga studio, a landscaped roof deck with grills and putting green, courtyard spaces, garage parking and private storage.
