Security is a Joke
Come take a look at the dog run and you’ll see the only barricade between street traffic and a door with NO LOCK that goes straight into the building, is an easily to climb fence smack dab in the middle of the first floor of the garage.
In my relatively short time living here, I must have heard of at least 5 different incidents in the span of a few weeks where cars have been broken into.
A past resident told me they witnessed an untagged (no resident decal) vehicle wait for a resident to go... through the gate and follow them. Luckily security was out and about that night. Often times security simply sits in their car and hangs out on they phones.
It means a lot to the residents that they do in fact hire security here. No one else in the surrounding area appears to do that currently. But it’s a total roll of the dice as to whether the security guard takes their job seriously or not. 9 times out of 10, the guard treats their shift as TikTok time or hides away in a common room or their car and will take literal naps.
It would honestly be more cost efficient to put up an actual barricade over the dog run wall, install an actual LOCK on the outside facing door within the dog run, and have an extra security camera or two to monitor entry points to and within the garage.
The staff here appears to mean well, and the maintenance crew are the best. But at a certain point common sense dictates a change needs to be made because their system is broken and criminals are well aware and taking full advantage.
As far as targets go, IMT Germantown is currently an easy one. I would not recommend moving here without raising these concerns with the staff. You can go see for yourself how vulnerable the dog park entrance is on your tour visit.
