When it comes to village gate access, security works hard to ensure only authorized individuals can put a name on a guest list.
Our security team never grants access to our automated system unless the phone number is provided by a resident who shows proof to a security officer that they are, in fact, a unit owner and authorized to provide the number.
As you also know, each unit may have more than one number associated with it. A verified unit owner may provide cell numbers for themselves, a spouse, etc. While village security makes sure only a verified owner can provide phone numbers, the responsibility is on the owner to only provide authorized numbers.
Security does not have access to any kind of verification system to vet a phone number. Maintaining gate security, like being vigilant about safety once inside the village, remains a joint responsibility of both security and residents.
Every unit owner is responsible for the actions of their own guests. If there is a problem with an individual, the owner whose list that person is on will be responsible. This is a message that MUST be emphasized by the associations. It is also the associations that are responsible for monitoring the people on their individual building properties.
