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.
