The Van Ness South Tenants Association today sent a letter to Property Manager Josh Luper, asking him to provide specific details about the presence or lack of a security guard at 3003 Van Ness.

After Attorney General Karl Racine pressed Equity Residential to increase security at the property or risk being designated as a “nuisance building,” the company told the tenant association that it would hire a security guard. However, since that time, it appears that a security guard is on site part-time if at all.

The letter provides a brief outline of security problems at 3003 Van Ness, then poses these specific questions:

• What days and hours is there a security guard on the premises at 3003 Van Ness?

• What company provides security guard services?

• What are the qualifications required of such guards?

• Is the guard required to do rounds of the building? If so, where and how often?

• Does the security service keep detailed logs? Can the tenant association review them?

• Under what circumstances does the security guard contact MPD?

• What is the phone number at which residents can reach the guard on duty?
