This basic security includes adequate lighting, working door locks, safe and secure entryways and walkways, secure parking spaces, and surveillance systems & security alarms if required.

Such systems are equipped with the primary purpose of keeping you safe, and makes property owners responsible for the safety of visitors entering their premises.

Injuries that are the result of lack of security, such as insufficient cameras, unsafe conditions or broken door locks, may constitute premises liability. The victims of poor and negligent security in New York City may be eligible for monetary compensation for their losses, pain and suffering, from the property owners or those responsible for the damages.
