Tenant inspection finds that security doors are still broken

An informal inspection of security doors at 3003 Van Ness conducted on August 26, 2025, has found that SIX doors leading from the exterior of the buildings or from the underground garages into the buildings are STILL broken and can be opened without a fob.

The tenant association has been reporting these broken doors to Equity Residential for well over two years. Equity frequently ignores such reports, or it “repairs” the doors using residential-grade materials, which are easily broken again. As a result, intruders can enter 3003 Van Ness at almost any time with little effort.

To document these continuously broken doors and security lapses, the Van Ness South Tenants Association has recorded well more than 100 videos of these doors over the past two years and has posted these to its YouTube channel.
