Apartment Building Security

Lobby Security:

  • Unknown or suspicious persons trying to get in to the building should be referred to the Management, Security or the Superintendent.
  • Do not allow strangers to enter the building as you are leaving or entering. Cooperate with all other tenants in keeping the main outer doors locked at all times.
  • Do not buzz anyone into the building whom you weren’t expecting, or do not know.
  • Use only your first initial on the lobby directory, doorbell, mailbox, and phone directory.
  • Do not leave notes on your apartment door or on the lobby directory.
  • If keys are lost or if you move, locks should be changed.
  • If you see a stranger carrying items out of a neighbors apartment, ***CALL 911***

Elevator safety

Trust your instincts!:

  • Look to see who's in the elevator before entering.
  • If there is someone in the elevator who makes you uncomfortable - wait for the next one.
  • When in the elevator - stand beside the control panel.
  • If a suspicious person enters the elevator, exit before the doors close.
