Broken Security Gate Lawyer

There are many different types of security gates to secure a leased apartment in a building or residence, or an area where there is an office building where you work. If the gates to a previously secured building or structure are broken, then it will make it possible for transients and intruders to trespass on the property. Trespassing individuals can do harm to the occupants of a property, and an improperly secured security system in an apartment area can result in trespass and assault and battery issues for the occupants of that building.

Broken Security Gates Do Not Monitor the Proper Flow of Access to a Property

Security gates are put into place to monitor the access control of people onto a property. The use of security gates will monitor the comings and goings of:

• Pedestrian and foot traffic
• Vehicles coming onto the property
• Flow of traffic
• Open number of lanes
• Types of vehicles with access to the property

Locked perimeter fences must also be in good working order, to deter the presence of criminal actors on the property. Security gates are used across entrance roads and to secure fences around a property, to keep out strangers and trespassers. But when these safeguards are missing because of a broken security gate, then it will threaten the safety of the inhabitants of the building.

In general, a gate is the weakest point of a property, where a perimeter fence is erected to securely keep away bad actors and criminal elements to a home or building. If the building owner, operator or building management company allows a broken security gate, then there will be security issues on every part of that building structure from this type of neglect.

Sexual Assault Because of a Broken Security Gate

There are many different types of security gates in existence. Each type of security gate is put into place to keep out undesirable people to a building or residence, and protect the inhabitants of the building or residence. The different types of security gates include:

• Single swing gates
• Turnstile rotational gates
• Cantilevered gates
• Double swing gates
• Vertical pivot gates
• Overhead sliding gates
• Single and double overhead support gates
• Vertical lift gates

Any part of a gate can break, which means that the entire gate structure is compromised and will not adequately secure a building or apartment. The critical components of a generally constructed gate are the:

• Hinges
• Truss rod
• Gate frame
• Gate opening
• Gate post
• Latch
• Frame cap
• Post cap

Broken security gates will allow trespassers to come onto the property at will. These people can be offenders, thieves, robbers or other undesirables who are meant to harm others with their actions. The owner and manager of a property are responsible to ensure that all gate protecting the property are in good and safe working order.

If this responsibility is not taken seriously, then there are going to be issues, traumas, crimes and problems. In the event that you have been personally injured on account of a broken security gate, you need to call our law office at the DTLA Law Group today.

Can I Sue the Landlord, Building Manager and the Owners for Homeless / Transients / Robbers Entering the Property?

Yes, you can bring a lawsuit against the landlord, building manager and building owner for homeless people, transients and robbers who are given carte blanche access to the property through a broken security gate. The locking system to a gate at the minimum, needs to offer penetration resistance from intruders that is equal to a padlock. If anyone can break into a gate, then it is definitely not serving the purpose for which it was intended, which is to keep out unauthorized individuals from having open access to a private property.

Safe Gates Incorporate an Intrusion Detection System

A gate that is safe will utilize an intrusion detection system. This system will utilize interior and exterior sensors to a property, and coordinate surveillance and communication networks to collect data and detect the intrusion of an unauthorized person coming onto the property. But if there is a broken security gate, all bets are off, and this system cannot work to keep out the dangerous elements or people intent on harming others.

In retrospect, it will be the case that intruders cannot be detected if there is a broken security gate, and the gate is left open to the breeze, allowing unauthorized people immediate access to the grounds where you rent or work. This is a problem waiting to happen, only just there will be many instances of being injured by perpetrators who can get through on a property that was supposed to have been gated and properly secured.
