We, the undersigned residents of The Belmont Apartments, believe that safety and personal well-being within our community has been compromised and petition the management to take basic measures to secure residents' safety.

As a result of a robbery in the 12000 building on October 20, we would like to formally request that both gates to the apartment complex be fixed and repaired. This request falls within the lease agreements that were signed upon moving into The Belmont, as a premium price is placed on a gated community. However, for the past 4 months, our home has been anything but closed-off. In the past week alone, the Durham Police Department has reported 9 various robberies or incidents of breaking and entering within 1/4 mile of The Belmont.

Because of this surge in crime so close to our own community, we also request an increased patrol to ensure the safety of the residents. A feeling of security is a basic request, but individual appeals to the management have gone unanswered and overlooked. As a community, we are appealing to the management to take this concern seriously and communicate with the residents about a plan that ensures personal well-being.

Below are outlined five requests that we have for increased safety
