From TFA:
"The property, once a premier address in the city, was afflicted with 'vagrants sleeping in hallways of vacant office floors.' They were 'starting fires in stairwells, smoking fentanyl and defecating in common areas,' according to papers the company filed in a lease-termination lawsuit."
Where is building security in all of this? Card keys, visitor check-in, all the stuff that I thought was standard-issue these days? If entire floors are vacant, why do the elevators open on those floors? Stairwell doors should already be card-keyed; it's been years since I've been in a building that doesn't do that. Other than sheer neglect (and that is certainly a a reasonable hypothesis), I am at a loss as to how this would continue for long.

- badc0ffee 1y agoI've been in buildings were people enter an occupied floor during office hours, go into the stairwell (no card needed to exit through the stairwell), and prop the door open with a brick or a piece of cardboard so it can be re-entered from the stairwell later. You'd think that would trigger an alarm and alert someone, but I guess not in every case. People walking by typically don't mess with a propped-open door, either, because they assume it's propped open for a reason.
