What one reviewer said

“In 21st century, with increasing apartement prices, there is no hot water for months now. Management or owner don’t care enough, that there is only one technician for 96 apartments. We need to wait that every single apartment get water heater for them to cut the solar suply and then we will have water, which means no one knows when. So the heater is ON but still no water and no proper communication from the management. Security is understanding now but will just tell to call Laxmi who only appologizes without making any action for tenants. This is going beyond all levels. No words.

“The alarms that go off every week are a bit annoying, there are problems with hot water and air conditioning, and also every year they raise the rent without reason instead of taking care of their long-time customers. The staff is very friendly and helpful, I only give it a 4 because of them.”

Construction noise right nesr the wall of the pool is a story for itself. Since SBK took over the management from Rocky, it’s impossible to deal with anything.I live here for 3 and half years and never had any issues before and from the signing the contract, renewals or any needs regarding the maintenance, everything was always smooth, polite and respectful. They don’t align with RERA and don’t really care about surroundings and how it affects its tenants. It might be an older building, but it’s pretty clean and with very nice and respectful neighbours, however the management will make you leave as soon as you need to deal with them undortunately, leaving you frustrated and angry.”

“The building has serious issues: no hot water, poor security, and constant fire alarms. The old management company was doing great but the new SBK management is terrible — they ignore maintenance requests, try to raise rent unlawfully, and are consistently rude. Avoid if possible. If I could give 0 stars I would.”

“SBK since they took the charge of the building everything tearing apart: - Bad maintenance, actually there is no maintenance to call it bad. - Illegal procedures especially with contracts & renewal rate increments. - Awful communication they don’t respond to calls / emails.”

“Building was always poorly maintained but staff was nice before. Since SBK has taken over management they ignore us. No reply for months unless asking for money by increasing rent above RERA index. Rude maintenance and security blocking us from moving out, requesting NOC. How can we get move-out NOC if management does not reply??????????? Until today no reply regarding deposit, this is totally unacceptable behavior. This is serious we are talking about people feeling safe and comfortable in their homes, we don't want to be cheated and ignored!”

“As a current tenant in Flamingo Building, I am extremely dissatisfied with SBK Management for the following reasons: - The second elevator has been out of order for a month. - The apartment walls are poorly maintained, with paint damaged by humidity. - The drainage system in the apartment is terrible and has been blocked since the flood incident, with no serious action taken to fix it. - The AC in the reception and corridor areas is often off or not functioning properly, resulting in an unpleasant smell. Moreover, phone calls coverage inside the apartment is very poor.”
