Building Management takes many precautions to protect tenant property; however, tenants are wholly responsible for the security of all persons and property within their suite. By following a few simple rules, much can be done to eliminate or reduce incidents of theft or intruders.

1. Never leave a suite door unlocked while the reception area is unattended, even if it is only momentarily. This may be the single, most important rule to prevent thefts and intruders from entering your suite. They know it is not uncommon for reception areas to be left unattended, especially when a firm is opening up for the business day and at the close of the business day.
2. Rear doors or secondary entrances should be kept locked at all times.
3. Hang coats and wraps away from the entrance to the office to reduce the possibility of them being easily stolen while you are busy. Keep valuables out of sight at all times. A minimum amount of cash should be kept in the office. Both stamps and cash should be locked in an office safe.
4. Keep purses and gift packages out of sight and locked inside a cabinet or desk if possible.
5. Lock desks when not seated at them.
6. The building prohibits all solicitors and peddlers. While there are many legitimate solicitors, most tenants do not desire to be bothered. Please call the Office of the Building immediately to report all solicitors and peddlers so they may be properly escorted from the building.
7. Do not let persons other than your employees and clients into building restrooms.
8. Building personnel are always ready to properly identify themselves. Persons posing as working for the building which you may not readily recognize should be reported to the Office of the Building or the Security lobby desk immediately. Every tenant has the right to question all those who enter their suite for proper identification.
9. Receptionists should be instructed to keep all visitors in the reception area, and ask the person being visited to come out and greet the visitor. Delivery and service personal should be escorted to their work location rather than directing them. This will reduce the possibility of unauthorized people entering an unauthorized area within your office.
10. Following your own instincts is critical. If there is ever any doubt or you don’t feel right about an individual in your suite, hallway, elevator or restroom, immediately call The Office of the Building to investigate.
