Security
Safety and security was a concern for the residents of YCC #42 and the
residents have been demanding improved security services for several
years.
It was no secret that an organized criminal gang was operating in the
condo as there had been several recent stabbings, shootings and even a
few murders on the premises. (Within a few months, Operation Traveller made front-page
news.)
Yet, by the beginning of 2013, the number of security guards and their
hours of
work had been cut. There was no one monitoring the CCTV
cameras. in the security office.

At the end of January 2013, there were no guards stationed in the
gatehouse and the visitor barrier was left in the open position.

In February 2013, a safety barrier was missing so vehicles can easily
enter the property through the driveway exit.
Entering the buildings
A key is required to enter the underground parking garages but no key
is required to enter any of the buildings from the parking garage. It
appears that the keys and locks have not be changed since the building
was built so there are thousands of keys in circulation.
