Residents of an East Village condominium complex say they feel a false sense of security after numerous burglary, theft and property damage cases. They say the problem has been going on for months.
Stacy Bolt had a package stolen from her doorstep of the Union Square condos on Broadway during the holidays. When she brought up the problem with her on-site property administrator, he wrote back in an e-mail, “I have no packages, and I don't recommend you ever have them left at your door. We have theft."
Jessica Nadi has lived in the complex for five years and said this problem has been going on for about six months.
“[The burglars] been trying to get into our mailboxes, picking packages up from our doorsteps,” Nadi told NBC 7. “With all the security cameras that we have, I think it's kind of a joke.”
Bolt and Nadi have a picture taken on Dec. 2, 2014., showing the master lock of their mailboxes significantly damaged. There are a number of security cameras in the vicinity.
They said this was one of the worse cases reported, and the act should’ve been caught on camera.
“The cameras, I assume, don’t work. Whenever we try to ask for footage, they don’t show us anything,” Nadi said.

NBC 7 contacted the on-site administrator Ted Phillips and the HOA company Friday evening, but have not received a response.
There is an alert posted in the main lobby of the complex acknowledging the reports and informing residents that police and carriers have been notified.
San Diego police confirm multiple burglary reports in the complex in the month of December.
