The Irvine management has indicated a few months ago that they have 6 security officers covering 8 apartment complexes from 9pm through 7 am, 7 days a week. With the last noticed distributed by Northpark management (The Irvine Company Apartment Communities) in the previous week stated that they are changing the security contract with a different company, and that there should be no interruptions with security services.
We have made several complaints the local management at the leasing office with no remedial action plans for this problem. - Today I spoke to a S.J. Police Officer while obtaining a police report, and asked, βIs this a typical problem here at Northpark?β, his reply was, βyesβ β I asked why, The Officer stated the following; βBecause there are hundreds of vehicles in a single location with minimum security and no video surveillance in this parking garage, and it is also hidden from general public scrutinyβ β Now that said, how many of you had a similar problem with someone vandalizing, or having your personal property stolen from your vehicles at the Irvine Company Apartment Complex? And how safe do you feel living here? How long before someone gets robbed by gun point or sexually assaulted? Now how safe do you feel?
