Homeowner + Board Member Struggling to Enforce Security Practices

Hi there - I'm an 11 year resident of an older condo building in Denver. We have consistent issues with residents propping doors open, homeless people getting in and living in our stairwells, security issues with theft and breakins, etc. It is impossible to enforce violations with the new 3 strike warning, since every time a resident breaks a rule, the cycle starts over again.

It's leading to a very insecure, unsafe community because residents aren't complying with security policies, since there's no teeth to any violation sent.


We need to change the laws and get back to being able to enforce community violations correctly and quickly. The state needs to be very diligent to ensure a balance of a safe environment and no undue burden to owners. It doesn't need to be this difficult.

Our association is going broke from the undue burden placed on associations and their lawyers to enforce violations that can't actually change any resident behavior.

Help make our communities safer by changing the laws to ensure violations are correctly enforced. Look at creating different laws by density of residents. That will be a tremendous help. Don't make central Denver's violation process the same as Highlands Ranch's violation process. We have very different demographics and structures, they shouldn't be burdened by the same state-mandated violations process. Can this be done at the county level?
