The Advocate - Murder victim's father sues condo complex
Here, from Nancy Levy, is a example of the kind of potential liability a condo association can incur by having "gated community"-type security measures...if they aren't effective. It is common now to have a guardhouse that is never manned, because it looks like security, but doesn't require a paycheck...

STAMFORD -- The father of Anna-Lisa Raymundo is suing the waterfront condominium complex where she was brutally murdered in 2002, claiming it didn't have the proper security in place. Renato Raymundo of Bloomfield Hills, Mich., says there is a guardhouse at the Palmer Landing Community on Harbor Drive, yet no one was manning it on the day of the murder. "The guardhouse is never manned," his lawsuit states.
