Security Recommendations for Our Residents
Tuesday, January 31, 2012 at 05:28PM Simple security measures that you as residents can follow:
1. Most intruders enter by way of a door. Always lock all your outside doors when you leave. Always look through the peephole before you answer the door. If you have a chain latch, always have the chain latch in place before you open the door.
2. Keep curtains and blinds drawn after dark.
3. Keep lights on in your apartment when you go out for the evening.
4. Be sure all screens and windows are locked from the inside.
5. Keep your valuables in a safety deposit box.
6. Keep a record of all serial numbers of your personal property.
7. Call the police if you see any suspicious persons loitering in your neighborhood or apartment building.
8. Notify your local police district when you’ll be leaving for a vacation and how long you will be away.
9. Cancel all deliveries, as the newspapers, when you leave for vacation.
10. Have a neighbor or the post office hold your mail until you return.
11. Have a neighbor check your apartment while you are away.
12. Don’t use “Miss” or “Mrs.” on your first name on your mailbox or telephone listing. Just use your initials.
13. Park your cars in well-lit areas.
14. Always lock your ignition and your doors when you park.
15. NOTIFY THE MANAGEMENT COMPANY OR THE SUPERINTENDENT WHEN A DOOR IS NOT CLOSING PROPERLY OR IF LIGHTS ARE OUT IN THE BUILDING OR IN THE PARKING LOT.
16. If trouble occurs, FIRST IMMEDIATELY CALL THE POLICE, THEN CALL THE ON-SITE MANAGER OR MANAGEMENT OFFICE.
