Increased Insecurity

I have to wonder if the recent spree of robberies in our co-ops is aligned with the limping economy.  With the attack around Pratt in August, the fist fight in the courtyard last week, and a number of break-ins, it is not without justification that I’m researching alternative security options for my home and along neighborhood walks.

I’m looking for new and updated statistics on crime in the neighborhood, and specifically in our co-ops.  Have you or someone you know had your apartment burglarized?

House Rules

For your reference;  the Clinton Hill House Rules

 

Records on Hand

If you or someone you know is elderly, handicap or otherwise impaired from walking the stairs in the building, you can voluntarily leave a name and apartment number with the security office (and management office).  In case of emergencies - for example, a black out as we head into the summer – the security office can have this information on hand for themselves and to provide the police, fire, or other emergency service providers.
