In NYC buildings without a doorman have locked outer doors were people are buzzed in once they have spoken to the person they want to visit over the intercom.

- wcummings 10y agoI've lived in buildings like that in NYC, those buzzers aren't stopping anyone.
- davidf18 10y agoThe fact that people have to be buzzed in serves as a deterrent.
- jrockway 10y agoPeople hang out in front of the door, usually with some sort of sob story about how all their keys melted or something. Then you have to decide between "do I want to be a dick to someone who is probably my neighbor" or "do I want to let in the murderer". Fortunately I've invented the third option, "looks like it's time to go get some coffee".
