If you are looking for a safe place to live, then you must take the time to check for all of the building safety amenities before signing your lease. This blog will go through some must-haves so that you can make sure your new home has everything needed to keep you and your family safe.

Builder Maintenance

​
One of the first things you should look for is a reasonable amount of regular and routine building maintenance. If it has been documented that there are regularly scheduled maintenance updates, this means that your apartment will be kept up to code with safety standards more often than not.

This includes painting (interior and exterior) and a roof anchor to prevent falling accidents which you can outsource from Shine On Anchors for the best in the market. If you are not satisfied with the contractor in charge of these updates, you should look for another building manager because if there is an emergency that needs fixing right away, this could lead to a safety hazard.

For example, fire extinguisher changes or window repairs may need to be done, if not, this will make your unit unsafe for you and your family.

Intruder Alarms

​
Another building safety amenity is an intruder alarm. This will provide the unit with protection from any potential burglary or theft, typically in public areas of your home like hallways and common spaces, so that you can feel safe when returning to your apartment after work or school.

Fire Alarms

​
An additional must-have for a safe living space is a fire alarm. This will alert occupants of the building if there is an emergency, such as smoke or flames, in your unit so that you can evacuate quickly and safely without any harm coming to you.

CCTV

​
Another safety amenity that is a must-have for any building is CCTV. This will give you peace of mind knowing that an incident would get documented if it ever happened. This information can help the police find who committed the crime or identify what caused the emergency in your apartment.

Access Control

​
When it comes to building safety, an access control system is a must. This will allow only those who have the key or code to enter your unit and prevent entry to any unannounced guests that could potentially cause you harm.

Extinguishers and First Aid Kits

​
Along with the other building safety amenities, you must have fire extinguishers and first aid kits in your home. This way, if there is a minor accident or injury to one of your family members, they will react accordingly because these items are crucial for any household.

Sprinklers

​Another must-have in your new building is sprinklers. This will help to put out any potential fires that may start because of an electrical or natural disaster, such as a tree falling on the power line and its short-circuiting, which could lead to small flames starting up in some areas of your apartment.

Emergency Exits

​Lastly, any building should have emergency exits safely labeled and displayed for all occupants to know where they need to head if there was an earthquake or another natural disaster.


In conclusion, you must take the time to look for all of these building safety amenities before signing your lease so that when you move in, you will feel safe and secure.
