Intercom System and Front Door Buzzer
All of our properties use some type of intercom system to communicate with people who ring your doorbell. Depending on the building, the intercom is located in the entryway of your apartment or when someone punches in your code on the intercom panel outside, it will ring your phone. Please do not hold the buzzer longer than necessary; a couple of seconds is sufficient time for someone to access the door. If the buzzer is held for too long, a stranger may be able to enter the building behind your guest. Do not allow anyone into the building whom you do not know.
Building Entry
Please make sure all doors are shut tightly behind you when you enter or exit the building. Please be sure to keep your windows closed and locked when you are not home.
