Safety Precaution Tips When Living in Key Colony Waterfront Condos

For most homeowners, the safety and security of their home is a top priority. Just think about it, if you’re willing to spend hundreds of dollars to make your home aesthetically pleasing and comfortable, you should also be ready to spend some money, or at least make an effort, to keep it safe and secure, right?   

But security precautions may be a little different if you live in a condo, like one of those gorgeous waterfront condos in Key Colony Key Biscayne. Most of these buildings already have solid security features such as CCTV cameras, guard and concierge services and maintained fire alarm system to protect the owners and tenants.

If you are new in your surroundings, here are some safety precaution tips that can increase security in your own home:

1. Be aware of your surroundings. Acquaint yourself with your neighbors and, if possible, be familiar with their regular comings and goings. This will help you spot any irregularities right away and respond in kind. The presence of neighbors can also help you feel more at ease when you go out of town on trips or vacations.

2. Change the locks and make sure only you have the keys. This should be a primary rule whenever you move to a new place. Why? Because previous owners (or other people) may still have their spare keys and you don't want to go home and find them lurking inside. Also, keep the doors locked at all times, even when you are at home.

3. If your unit is on the lower floors of the building or has balconies, take extra precaution and do not leave your valuables on display. Always lock the balcony doors even if you are at home.

4. Regularly check if the smoke alarms are properly installed and in working order. There should be smoke alarms installed in every bedroom, outside each sleeping area and on every level of your Key Biscayne waterfront condos.

5. Protect your privacy by using your initials or your last name only on the mailbox.

6. Immediately replace any burnt out light inside your home. Notify the building manager if there are any dim or inoperable lights in entry ways, hallways, stairwells and parking garages. Burglars and intruders like to work in the cover of darkness that’s why having  good lighting inside and outside of your home is a good deterrent against crime.

7. Take time to read your condo’s CC&R (covenants, conditions and restrictions) especially when it comes to the security policies and follow every rule.

With these safety precaution tips, you can protect yourself and those around you while establishing a safe haven right inside your Key Colony Key Biscayne beachfront condos.
