Building Safety Starts With Strong Local Partnerships
Keeping a commercial property safe takes more than what happens inside the building. Strong relationships with Business Improvement Districts (BIDs), community organizations, and other local partners can give property teams additional resources when challenges arise.
On Wednesday, September 23, BOMA/GLA is bringing together industry and community leaders for Keeping Buildings Safe by Working With BIDs and Local Groups, an in-person discussion focused on practical ways to improve safety around your property.
What Property Teams Need to Know
From homelessness related activity to day-to-day security concerns, property managers are often expected to respond quickly while balancing the needs of tenants, staff, and the surrounding community.
This discussion will help members better understand:
- How BIDs and local organizations can support your property
- What resources may already be available in your neighborhood
- What property teams can realistically expect from BID partnerships
- Practical approaches to homelessness-related activity near buildings
- Best practices for incident response and on-site safety
Why This Matters
Safety directly affects tenant experience, leasing, staff morale, and asset value.
Knowing who to call and building those relationships before an incident occurs can make a major difference.
We continue to connect our members with the people and resources that can help them navigate the challenges facing commercial properties across Greater Los Angeles.
