Landlord/Property Manager Won't Secure My Building From Homeless Intruders

Landlord/Property Manager Won't Secure My Building From Homeless Intruders I'm going to try to keep this short but will gladly elaborate where needed. Over a year ago we had a break-in on the property where all of the mail boxes were destroyed and all the mail was taken. I talked to the landlord who said "that sucks" replaced the mailboxes, and things went quiet for a while (or at least I didn't notice). Roll forward about 9 months or so and one evening I found a homeless encampment on my roof deck, constructed out of my furniture. I alerted the police - who promptly took over four hours to arrive - and the property manager, who decided they'd adjust the door threshold several days later. Suggesting "there's nothing we can do" to further fix the door, closer, or strike. After several appeasement messages, I decided not to waste my time further. About two months later, another surprise! I go down to throw out the trash and lo and behold I'm greeted by two new homeless people setting up camp in the lobby of all places. They're surprised, I'm surprised, and they start getting in my face because I'm intruding in their home. Another call to the police (maybe 30min response this time!), to the property manager's "emergency voicemail" (LOL), and an angry email to everyone at the property management office later they end up reprogramming and rekeying the front door. Now let's get to last weekend and another break-in, two guys spend the morning shitting, smoking crack, and having sex all over the building's stairways from 9 to noon. Luckily I wasn't around for that nasty surprise. With all that in mind now... What is it going to take to get the property manager motivated to actually fix the door so it's reasonably secure? Right now other tenants leave, the doors get stuck ajar, and anyone can walk right in. The property manager is aware of this, but "there's nothing we can do". I don't feel like patrolling my building - that's not what I'm paying $4500/mo for. I was told they can't lock the rooftop doors (which allow people throughout the building) because of fire code (BS btw, I had a talk with the fire inspector). As a tenant, what are my rights here? If something happens to me or another tenant I'm sure the property owner is responsible, but I'd like to think we won't get there. Some of my property has been damaged in the process which I was able to claim on my insurance. All I really care about is keeping people from smoking crack outside my front door. As someone who tends to just solve problems themselves, I'm borderline considering hiring a contractor myself to fix this. If you like pictures, enjoy... https://imgur.com/a/tWhkEVh
