ProperLighting-298x300Apartment owners have a responsibility to protect their residents from violent crime, sexual assault, and foreseeable harm. Unfortunately, owners all too often fail to implement and/or maintain critical security measures, leaving residents and their guests vulnerable.

Proactive, Active and Reactive Security

Apartment owners and property managers should employ a variety of security measures to both deter and respond to injuries, violent crimes and sexual assaults. Bravo Three, a private security company, recommends apartment owners invest in a mix of proactive, active and reactive security measures.

“Proactive security is any measure that is set in place that will deter criminal activity before it happens….The most important aspect in all of security is providing a visual deterrent.” -Bravo Three

  • Are all parking areas, grounds, hallways, stairwells, and common areas well-lit?
  • Does landscaping minimize hiding places and provide strong sight-lines?
  • Is the perimeter secured with gated and/or guarded entry and fencing?
  • Are visible surveillance cameras positioned throughout property as a deterrent?
  • Are residences equipped with deadbolts, door viewers, window locks, and sliding door security bars?
  • Are pool areas secure after-hours with working locks and alarms?

Could this unconscionable sexual assault have been prevented and is justice available to the young victim?

Elsa Velasquez bravely fought off an alleged child predator at a Memphis apartment complex Thursday evening, June 7, 2018, rescuing her 3-year-old daughter. In a community all too often silenced through fear, Ms. Velasquez spoke out to protect her child and other families.

According to News 3, the 3-year-old victim was playing with her cousin in the apartment complex courtyard when a man “grabbed her by the hand and pulled her across the parking lot to a wooded area.”

Ms. Velasquez was able to find the suspect and pull him off her daughter by the hair. After he fled, WVLT 8 reports, she courageously tracked him down and reported him to police, so he couldn’t harm any other children.

(FOX 10)

Parking garages present inherent security challenges as they frequently occupy a large space with low levels of activity and numerous hiding places for would-be attackers.

A woman was sexually assaulted in the RSA Battle House Tower parking garage Tuesday, June 5, 2018, according to FOX 10 reports. Police told media the incident occurred “around 9:20 a.m. in the RSA Tower parking garage on Water Street.”

The attack raises grave security concerns for parking facility owners throughout the state. Mobile police are now making “suggestions to RSA on how to improve security so a crime like this doesn’t happen again.”

“This is a pretty open parking garage. It’s pretty easy for people to get into,” Public Safety Director James Barber told FOX 10. “There is a lot of walk through traffic also that occurs between the RSA and YMCA and so again, what type of measures can they reasonably take to secure the area from unauthorized entry and certainly people that are up to ill will.”

Victims of Parking Facility Violence: Know Your Rights

Parking facility patrons have a right to feel safe and secure while on the premises of the establishment they are visiting. By law, property owners are required to protect all patrons legally on the premises from any foreseeable harm. For example, should a parking garage owner have knowledge of prior violence on or near property, they have a responsibility to implement additional security precautions to protect patrons and deter such crime. Should a property owner fail in this critical responsibility, they may be held civilly liable for any injuries, rapes, sexual assaults, or wrongful deaths which occur as a consequence.

A June 2018 CNN investigation alleges, “[r]ideshare companies Uber and Lyft have approved thousands of people who should have been disqualified because of criminal records.”

The rideshare apps’ driver screening processes have been under scrutiny since an April 2018 CNN investigation, revealed there are “at least 103 Uber drivers in the U.S. who have been accused of sexually assaulting or abusing their passengers in the past four years.”

Despite these disturbing allegations, most states have allowed Uber and Lyft to continue to operate with little or no regulation. CNN reports, “Of the 43 states that have passed laws or rules regulating rideshare driver background checks and eligibility, none require fingerprint-based checks, CNN found. In 31 states, the laws largely mirror Uber’s recommended screening policies, in some cases nearly word-for-word.”

Victims of Rideshare Assault: Know Your Rights

By law, all patrons of taxi, limo and ridesharing services have a right to feel safe and secure while in the vehicle. Assaults and rapes at the hands of transportation service drivers have become all too frequent and raise grave questions about employee screenings and criminal background checks.
