Security
Although the Gregory has extensive electronic security systems, the security
of the building is no better than the determination of the owners and tenants
to keep it secure. The Gregory is your home and everyone living here should
be as aware and forceful with regard to protecting the security of the building
as if it were a private home. It is difficult to deny access to the building
to people that appear to have a reason to enter, or to deny assistance to someone
seeking to go up on the elevator, but the homeowners and tenants must be assertive
in this regard. Otherwise, there is effectively no security in the building
beyond the lock on your door.
- Do not admit any persons unknown to you into the building at any time,
for any reason, no matter how nice they look or how reasonable their
explanation is. If they have a legitimate reason for being in the building,
they will
either be able to reach the party they are visiting from the front door
phone or will
have the necessary codes. If the party they are visiting is not home, then
they have
no reason to be in the building, so there is never a good reason for giving
a
stranger access to either the lobby or the floors.
- Tell your guests not to expect to enter the building without using the
security
systems and ask them not to expect other people entering the building to
let
them in.
- Vehicles entering and exiting the garage should wait in view of the
door to
ensure that it fully closes behind them.
- Ensure that all exterior doors are closed properly behind you. Your
common area
key fits stairwell doors.
- Immediately report all suspicious activity to the Portland Police. Inform
the
Property Manager of the report during business hours.
TEMPORARY ELEVATOR CODES. If you plan to hold an open house or large
social event attended by people who are not family or friends familiar with
the building, obtain from the Property Manager a temporary elevator code just
for the event which you can print in your invitation. These codes expire within
one day, so they facilitate access to the building short term without compromising
security long term.
