420 Kent Complex at 420 Kent Avenue,

Brooklyn, NY 11249

loads of light, nice size, great location

super busy, revolving door of people, neighbors that loiter around the entrance

If there were better tenants in the building this would be a great place to live

Management team is responsive to maintenance requests, beautiful view and amenities.

Many residents don't adhere to the non-smoking policy. Some floors worse than others but smoke frequently travels through vents.

Added cost for amenities and pool (+ guest limits), no leg machine in gym

New clean building, well done apartments, a lot of very nice accessible amenities

Generally people congregate at all times between the two towers, far from subway access, loud summer wedding venue up street which you can hear

Mgmt was amazing and responsive

Rent went up but living in other buildings, I wish I never moved

New, nice building and appliances.

Building slow to respond with some issues (dryer not working, shades).

Change out the dryers you put in every unit, they don't work well. Get dark shades. It's a new glass building on the water. It is sunny AF.

Views, pool, lobby and package facility employees are great

Thin walls, obnoxious neighbor playing music at 3am and not caring when confronted (cussing drunk in the hallway, saying he didn’t give a f** about other neighbors). Spoke to management in several occasions, they were useless. Proposing to cover the wall in insulating panels instead of helping to speak with the neighbor. Separately, police is in the building lobby every week for one issue or another

- great amenities
- apartments are gorgeous new and clean
- some strange neighbors in the building

- management is slow to answer and unhelpful
- far from subway

N/a

Great views with really welcoming front desk staff

Gym management is miserable and takes it out on tenants.

Fire the company that runs the gym and pool. I’m sure there are many other companies in the city that do a better job of creating a welcoming environment.

- Very nice-looking building and finishes
- Nice appliances
- Pretty epic view
- Lots of communal space

- Small, expensive apartments
- Additional fee for amenities, which causes a weird divide between residents who pay and those who don't and an awkward and intense policing of spaces by staff (by the way, I am saying this as someone who did have access to the amenities)
- Windows were thick with grime for most of my time there, making it hard to see the beautiful view
- Can only get packages when package room is open (Monday – Friday until 7 pm/Saturday until 2 pm/closed Sunday)
- No sense of community, neighbors aren't very friendly
- Party building - roof is always full, lots of garbage, furniture stained, loud music at night
- Far from subways
- Pool is small, and freezing cold!

- Give everyone access to the amenities, don't force staff to police
- Create more of a sense of community with staff and between residents - I think this would help with curbing the IDGAF attitude and poor etiquette from the people who live in the building

The building is great, neighbors and guests are respectful. Plenty of pets and common areas. Waterfront living. The area is great and everything is modern and clean for the most part.

Maybe the fact that there are too many people in the building. Can get busy. Easy to make friends if you’re more of a social person, but a lot of people can be snobby. A lot of people also Airbnb their apartments so you’re constantly seeing new faces come in an out. So, it’s hard to ever harness a real sense of community. A lot of parties and can feel like a dorm at times.

A lot of people have problems getting help from maintenance and getting responses from management. I’m pretty handy so if anything goes wrong I just fix it. The one time my thermostat wasn’t working I requested help and maintenance fixed it immediately. Maybe I’ve gotten lucky.

Beautiful space, amenities, rooftop pool, gym and lobby

Management is completely unresponsive to any issues raised, there are parties all day everyday with loud music

Good water views

Far from the subway

Be more responsive

Location is great

Noise is a problem

Continue to listen

Nice designer appliances and friendly concierge/package room attendant.

Paper thin walls and loud neighbors - you can hear them loud and clear all day, and the management ignores complaints. Unit is dark and filthy.

Address complaints.

Great location. New building. Good amenities

Building management sucks. Drug dealers live in the building. Management has no answers to deal with constant smoke, noise and strangers who come and leave at will.

Vet the tenants

- Building is gorgeous with great amenities
- Location and views are incredible
- Neighbors are friendly & super social
- Front desk staff are super helpful

- Clearly cut corners in the building process - stuff breaks down from time to time + tons of pluming issues

- Building management is not at all responsive and when you do finally reach them they are dismissive

- Amenity rules are very restrictive. Makes it difficult to use them or share them with friends.

- Take time to actually listen to the concerns of tenants

- That building management be more responsive and friendlier in their comms

- Make amenity rule more flexible and less restrictive. They are a huge reason we pay what we do to live here.

- Address important infrastructure issues especially around plumbing. An apartment flooding with sewage water is absolutely unacceptable.

Staff, location, amenities, shuttle to the train.

Expensive, but it expected for the location and a luxury building

Sensitive and caring for residents

A bit expensive

Keep on the hard work it will pay off

Friendly staff, package room

Paper thin walls between apartments. Inconsiderate neighbors. Pests from garbage room. Poorly built - lots of things starting to break.

Good looking building

The general manager of 420 and 416 kent never replies to anything.

Replace your general manager. Period
