What we know

Golec Properties LLC, operating under the trade name Kendrick Property Management, functions as a residential and commercial property management firm. In this capacity, the company routinely collects, processes, and stores an extensive volume of deeply sensitive information belonging to prospective tenants, current residents, commercial lessees, and vendor partners. Because property management operations require thorough background vetting, ongoing financial transactions, and lease administration, firms like Kendrick Property Management inherently amass vast repositories of personally identifiable information. This makes them a high-value target for malicious actors seeking to exploit centralized databases containing financial and identity records. In 2025, Golec Properties LLC dba Kendrick Property Management formally reported a data security incident to the Massachusetts Attorney General. While the precise mechanics of the breach are still under active investigation by cybersecurity experts, incidents affecting property management companies typically involve unauthorized third-party intrusions into digital document archives, compromised employee credentials, or vulnerabilities within cloud-hosted tenant management portals. These threat vectors allow cybercriminals to bypass perimeter defenses and dwell undetected within internal networks, extracting confidential files that contain the private data of individuals who trusted the company with their personal lives. The data compromised in the Kendrick Property Management breach potentially includes full names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, driver license numbers, banking details for rent payments, and detailed residential history. The exposure of this information creates severe, long-term risks for affected individuals. Social Security numbers and dates of birth serve as the primary keys for identity theft, enabling fraudsters to open fraudulent credit lines, secure unauthorized loans, or intercept government benefits. Furthermore, exposed banking details and residential records leave tenants uniquely vulnerable to financial account takeover, targeted phishing scams, and fraudulent debt collection attempts. As a commercial entity operating within the Commonwealth, Golec Properties LLC dba Kendrick Property Management is bound by stringent legal obligations under Massachusetts data privacy statutes and common law negligence principles. These laws mandate that organizations holding consumer and tenant data implement robust, reasonable security measures—such as multi-factor authentication, network segmentation, encryption, and regular vulnerability assessments—to safeguard sensitive records against unauthorized access. The occurrence of a successful breach strongly indicates a failure to maintain these required safeguards, potentially exposing the company to significant legal liability for negligence and statutory violations. Receiving a data breach notification letter from Golec Properties LLC dba Kendrick Property Management is a formal legal admission that your confidential information was compromised due to inadequate data security practices. Under modern class action jurisprudence, victims do not need to wait until they experience actual financial loss or identity theft to seek legal recourse; the increased risk of future harm and the loss of privacy are sufficient to establish legal standing. Our class action law firm is actively investigating claims against Kendrick Property Management on behalf of affected individuals. We handle these cases on a strict contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing out of pocket, and we only recover fees if we successfully secure a recovery on your behalf.
