Criteria for a Security Plan.
Boston Municipal Code § 9-11.3
in effect9-11.3 Criteria for a Security Plan.
(A) A security plan shall be based upon a crime prevention survey which has been completed by the Boston Police Department, and shall incorporate all of the elements recommended by the crime prevention survey for the adequate protection of the tenants of the elderly/handicapped development, except as otherwise provided in Subsection 9-11.4. Each crime prevention survey shall include both findings as to the security needs of the tenants of the development and recommendations as to how such needs shall be met through existing or new security measures, such as lighting, locks, Safety Officers, security stations, security systems or other equipment, personnel or programs. Each survey shall also include a one-page summary, on official Boston Police Department stationery, itemizing the elements recommended.
(B) A new crime prevention survey must be performed every three years. If a building permit is required by the Inspectional Services Department for substantial structural changes in the building entrances to an elderly/handicapped development before the expiration of the three-year period since a survey was last performed, a new crime prevention survey must be performed upon submission of the building permit application.
(C) The landlord shall be responsible for arranging for a crime prevention survey by the Boston Police Department, and shall notify the Commissioner of the Inspectional Services Department in writing at the same time that he or she requests such survey from the Boston Police Department. No fee shall be assessed to the landlord for such survey. The Boston Police Department shall carry out such crime prevention survey and provide a copy of the same to the landlord and the Inspectional Services Department upon completion, as provided for in Subsection 11-1.7 as amended. Such surveys shall be carried out on a phased basis parallel to that of the notices sent under Subsection 9-11.2 by the Commissioner of Inspectional Services. Such surveys shall be completed within 30 days of receipt of the landlord’s request for a crime prevention survey.
