Package theft:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Package theft is a very serious issue in condos or apartments! Normally parcels are delivered between 9 am to 8 pm<\/a>, when most apartment renters are working or busy running errands or practicing an activity! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Porch pirates or robbers can quickly make away with unattended parcels left in the hallways or corridors. Despite law imposing heavy fines<\/a> and even imprisonment for parcel thieves, it’s still not enough to deter them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On average, stolen packages cost victims $219<\/a>. The need of the hour is to look for a reliable security system to safeguard deliveries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Burglaries: <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Unidentified<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Most burglaries of apartments<\/a> occur during the daytime when residents are in school or at work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The apartment burglars break a window, pry open a door, or disable a lock to gain entry. Believe it or not, simply forgetting to lock a door or window is a frequent way burglars enter apartments, especially on lower floors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apartment buildings with poor security systems allow people or vehicles to tailgate. These skilled criminals then pose as a delivery person, service worker, or even another resident <\/strong>to gain entry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And you know what? They can pick locks in seconds with minimal noise or damage.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Loitering: <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes people stay in common areas such as swimming pool areas, parking lots, or maybe even corridors for extended periods. This can raise security concerns because loiterers are the terror of apartment buildings! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In simple terms, loiterers intentionally linger with the potential to cause harm.<\/strong> They might be scoping out apartments for break-ins, using the space for illegal activities, or harassing residents. A big security risk!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A good surveillance system allows security personnel to address potential threats effectively and deter potentially dangerous loiterers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bike theft:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Bike theft is a growing concern, and while news outlets often highlight various theft types such as smash-and-grab<\/a> and car theft, bicycle thefts<\/a> are also escalating. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apartment bike storage areas might be less secure than designated locked bike rooms found in some condo complexes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shockingly, almost 4,000 bikes were stolen<\/a>, in Toronto<\/a> in 2020, with a third of these thefts occurring at apartment complexes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To enhance security in outdoor areas, our s\u00e9curit\u00e9 des parkings<\/a> services offer comprehensive protection for tenants\u2019 bicycles and vehicles, ensuring a safer environment for all your belongings.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t

Fire hazards: <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Fire hazards in apartment buildings don’t just ruin one floor; they can cause harm to many floors above and below. Unattended cooking is a major fire hazard in condos!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Faulty wiring or overloaded circuits<\/a> cause approximately 30 % <\/strong>of the fires, especially in older condo buildings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Storing flammable materials like grills or pool chemicals on balconies can create a fire hazard and potentially spread flames to neighboring units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes the silliest mistakes such as discarded cigarettes or improper disposal of smoking materials can ignite fires!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
