Tenants at 1306 Mass Ave Complain To Harvard About Safety Measures

Tenants at 1306 Massachusetts Avenue met with Harvard officials to address security concerns after multiple burglaries and a recent violent crime, where a woman was raped and stabbed in her apartment on January 25. They allege that Harvard, part-owner of the building, should ensure better security measures. The building lacks required intercom and buzzer lock systems, and tenants have long complained about inadequate safety, with windows and door locks easily bypassed. Harvard and property managers R.M. Bradley & Co. deny ownership but acknowledge an option to purchase. Despite promises of improved security, tenants remain dissatisfied with the ongoing safety issues.
