Property Security Risk Assessment for Multifamily Properties

We conduct security vulnerability assessments for multifamily housing, residential communities, and commercial properties. Our assessments identify environmental conditions, property features, and management practices that may increase crime risk and impact property safety.

What is a security vulnerability assessment

A security vulnerability assessment evaluates conditions that may increase the likelihood of crime or safety incidents at a property. For multifamily and residential properties, vulnerabilities may include poor lighting, limited visibility, uncontrolled access points, or environmental conditions that allow concealment or unauthorized activity.

Our assessors review physical conditions, layout, and operational practices to identify factors that may increase risk exposure.

Who is qualified to perform the CPTED assessment?

Every Tricorn CPTED assessment is conducted by a Florida Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design Practitioner (FCP) designated by the Florida Crime Prevention Training Institute.

The FCP credential is the qualification required under Florida Statute 768 0706 for multifamily properties seeking the presumption against liability. Outside Florida, it signals that your assessment is being performed by a practitioner trained to national CPTED standards rather than a general security consultant or facilities inspector. This distinction matters in litigation. Assessments conducted by unqualified parties are routinely challenged by opposing counsel in premises liability cases. A report authored by a credentialed practitioner carries weight that a generic security audit does not.

Every Tricorn assessment is conducted by an FCP-certified practitioner with real-world security and operational experience. Our team includes Mario deGraaf (FCP, CPD) with 17+ years military intelligence experience and hundreds of completed assessments, Kyle Scroggins (FCP) with 14+ years in multifamily security, Robert Gaskell (FCP), a U.S. Air Force veteran with 100+ assessments completed, and Seth Ryan (FCP), a U.S. Army Special Operations Ranger and former law enforcement officer. Meet the full team.

Key conditions we evaluate

Security vulnerability assessments review environmental and operational conditions that may influence property safety.

Property Access and Control

We evaluate entrances, gates, pathways, and access points to identify uncontrolled movement and unauthorized access risks.
Lighting, landscaping, and building orientation all influence how easily people can see activity throughout the property.

Visibility and Lighting Conditions

We assess visibility, sightlines, and lighting levels to determine whether parking areas, walkways, and entrances support clear observation and safety.

Environmental Design and Concealment

Landscaping, building layout, and structural elements are evaluated to identify concealment opportunities and areas with limited visibility.

Property Operations and Management Practices

We review maintenance conditions, access control procedures, and operational practices that may influence overall property security.
