Many residents have expressed their disapproval at the lack of security here at The Crescent. I've written about security in this earlier blog post and have even written a letter to management.
In a written response to my letter, the Assistant Property Manager states:
"...this forces the use of a fob and requires that guests utilize the keypad located in the front of the building to contact a resident in order to obtain entry. Courtesy Patrol has been advised that No One is allowed to enter the building after hours."
Before you watch the video below, let me set the scene. Today is July 4th and the office closed earlier than normal (at 3pm). The security guard, or "Courtesy Patrol" as the management put it (probably to limit their liability if there were a problem), didn't come in early so as to compensate for the earlier closing time of the office. This left a "vacuum" whereby anyone can just stroll into The Crescent from 3pm until security arrives and/or the automatic locks kick in at (I believe) 6pm. The same issue was brought to management's attention after Memorial Day, which is why I even knew to check it today.
My question for management: If you already knew about the holiday security lapse, why weren't the front doors locked today at 3pm when the office closed and why wasn't a security guard posted at the front door at 3pm as well? Is this what they consider security?
