Monday, December 20th, the VNSTA Security Working Group had an online meeting with Josh Luper, building manager of 3003 Van Ness for Equity Residential.

Mr. Luper again promised that Equity would produce a plan for tightening security at 3003 Van Ness. He was not able to provide further details.

He also told members of the working group that Equity was testing several companies that provide security guards on a trial basis, with guards posted overnight from Thursday through Sunday nights. He could not explain why following the recent stabbing at 3003 Van Ness, no security was needed for the overnight shift on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday.

On a positive note, Mr. Luper agreed to VNSTA working group member Owen Epstein’s request to walk the perimeter of the building with him to review broken locks or doors at exterior entrances/exits.
