How the Breach Occurred

Golec Properties LLC dba Kendrick Property Management was responsible for safeguarding the personal data of its customers and employees. According to a MA state filing, Golec Properties LLC dba Kendrick Property Management experienced a data security incident affecting an undisclosed number of individuals, exposing financial account information and payment data. This case remains active and individuals are still being identified.

The data held by Golec Properties LLC dba Kendrick Property Management — like that of most organizations that collect customer information — represents a comprehensive profile of affected individuals that, once assembled by bad actors, enables a range of fraudulent activities. The value of this data persists long after the breach is publicly disclosed, and vigilance is warranted for years following an exposure.

Golec Properties LLC, operating as Kendrick Property Management, appears to be a real estate and property management firm responsible for overseeing residential or commercial rental properties. In the normal course of business, such companies typically collect and store sensitive tenant and applicant information, including full names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, home addresses, financial account or payment information, and lease agreements. In 2025, the company officially reported a data breach to the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office following an unauthorized security incident involving their network. Individuals who received a data breach notification letter from Kendrick Property Management were informed that their personal information may have been compromised. This page provides affected residents with an overview of the reported incident and outlines the specific data categories potentially exposed.

Exposed Data — What's at Risk

Based on the data types reported in this filing:

Identity Theftcritical risk

Your SSN is the master key to your identity. Once exposed, criminals can open new lines of credit, take out loans, or file taxes in your name.

Identity Verification Bypassmedium risk

Combined with a name and other leaked data, date of birth helps criminals pass identity verification questions at banks and government agencies.

Physical Security Riskmedium risk

Home address exposure can enable mail theft, package fraud, and targeted phishing attacks that reference your known location.

What the Law Gives You

Common categories of compensation in data breach class actions

Time & Inconvenience

Courts recognize that the time spent monitoring accounts, placing credit freezes, and dealing with the aftermath of a breach has real economic value. This category of damages is recoverable even without direct financial loss.

Credit Monitoring & Identity Restoration

Professional credit monitoring services cost $10–$40 per month. Identity theft restoration services, if needed, can cost hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars. Courts have awarded these costs as direct damages in SSN breach cases.

Financial Losses & Fraudulent Charges

Direct financial losses resulting from the breach — unauthorized charges, fraudulent transfers, or fees incurred through fraud — are recoverable as compensatory damages. Banks may reverse some charges; a class action recovers the remainder and associated costs.

Emotional Distress

Data breach victims regularly report anxiety, loss of sleep, and ongoing fear of identity theft. These non-economic harms are cognizable injuries in data breach litigation, particularly in cases involving SSN or medical record exposure.

Applicable State Law

This breach was reported under the Massachusetts Data Security Law (201 CMR 17.00), which mandates notification and establishes your right to seek damages.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need proof that my data was misused to file a claim against Golec Properties LLC dba Kendrick Property Management?

No. Under Massachusetts Data Security Law (201 CMR 17.00) and federal law, the unauthorized exposure of your personal data — regardless of whether it has been actively misused — can be sufficient grounds for a claim. The breach itself is the injury.

How much does filing a claim cost?

Nothing. The Law Office of David S. Harris handles data breach cases on contingency — you pay zero upfront and owe nothing unless compensation is recovered.

My Social Security Number was exposed. What should I do right now?

Immediately place a free credit freeze at all three bureaus (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion). A freeze blocks new accounts from being opened in your name. Then file a complaint with the FTC at IdentityTheft.gov and contact our office — SSN exposure is one of the most serious breach types.

My financial account data was exposed. Can the bank recover my losses?

Banks may reverse fraudulent charges, but they are not obligated to compensate you for time lost, stress, or indirect damages. A class action claim against the breached company can recover those additional categories of harm.

Is there a deadline to file a claim?

State statutes of limitations for data breach claims typically run 2–4 years from the date of the breach or its discovery. Because this breach was recently disclosed, the window is open — but acting early preserves your options and strengthens the case.

What if Golec Properties LLC dba Kendrick Property Management offered me free credit monitoring after the breach?

Accepting free credit monitoring from Golec Properties LLC dba Kendrick Property Management does not waive your right to pursue legal action unless you signed a specific release waiving claims. In most cases, victims who accepted monitoring can still file.

Do I need to have received a notice letter to be eligible?

Not necessarily. Many data breach victims are never notified directly. If your personal information was held by Golec Properties LLC dba Kendrick Property Management during the relevant period, you may still qualify even without receiving a letter. A free eligibility review can confirm your status.
