Building Operations: Security
1359 Broadway is manned by building/ security personnel 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. All building/
security staff has been trained to meet or exceed NY State requirements and to act in a professional and
courteous manner at all times. In the event of an emergency, contact the building/ security staff at the
Security/ Concierge Desk at 212-947-4894 x14. After business hours, the phone is answered by the Lobby
Security desk personnel.
Building Security: Overview
Security at 1359 Broadway is of the utmost importance. In order to provide a safe working environment,
security will be maintained twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, throughout the year. The security
coverage will include all building holidays as well.
The Concierge will constantly monitor all people entering 1359 Broadway from 7:00 am to 8:00 pm, Monday
through Friday; and will render assistance to Tenants and their guests in a courteous and prompt manner. If
there are any complaints regarding the activities of the Concierge or Security Guard, please inform Building
Management immediately.
A porter/ security guard will take over the building lobby desk at 8:00 pm each business day and will remain
on guard in the lobby, changing shifts at midnight, until 7:00 am on the next business day. The front doors
on Broadway will be locked after 7:00 pm and the Freight entrance will be locked at 5:45 pm. The 36th Street
doors are locked at all times (24 hours/ day) - egress only.
Cameras are installed in each of the elevators and will be screened at the Lobby Desk. This will generally
enhance the security in the elevators and also prevent situations where more than one person is in an
elevator simultaneously and such persons attempt to exit on inappropriate floors.
After regular business hours upon leaving the building, the person(s) will sign out by indicating their time of
departure next to their name.
1. Anyone entering or leaving the property must sign in and provide picture I.D. If they have no picture
I.D. then they will have to contact the company and the person in which they have an appointment
with. That person will have to confirm that they are to be allowed up in the building.
2. Visitors - Non-Business Hours
Outside regular business hours, the front door, as mentioned above will be locked.
If the visitor is expected, the Tenant being visited should notify the Lobby Desk that the visitor would be
arriving. The visitor will then proceed to the Lobby Desk where they will sign in.
If an unexpected visitor arrives after business hours, the Lobby Desk will require that the visitor sign in and
produce a proper form of identification.
Building Security: Building Access
Security Cards
Each employee is required to use a security card to gain access to the building at all times. Requests for
security cards should be submitted via the on-line work order system at
http://1359broadway.workspeed.com. Each individual is also required to make an appointment with the
Building Management Office to have their photo taken, at 212-244-3125. Photos are visible by the
Building/Security personnel at the Security/Concierge Desk upon accessing the reader panel when entering
the building.
To ensure your security as well as that of other Tenants, we ask that security access cards be returned to
the Building Management Office for individuals no longer in your employ and that you contact Kastle
Systems at 212-824-3800/ 3815 in order for these individuals be deleted from the system.
Building Security: General Office Security
At 1359 Broadway, it is our goal to make 1359 Broadway a safe and secure building.
Safety and security requires your cooperation. We ask that you work within your firm to create security
awareness among the staff and your visitors and to communicate the concept that “an ounce of prevention”
is in everyone’s best interest.
At all times and in all situations, Tenants should immediately advise 1359 Broadway Management Office at
212-244-3125 and/or Lobby Security at 212-947-4894 of any security incident or emergency situation within
your offices or within the building.
Building Security: Key & Lock Policy
Requests for duplicate keys must be submitted via the on-line work order system at
http://1359broadway.workspeed.com. For reasons of security, all duplicate keys must be made within the
building. Please note that NO outside locksmith is allowed to do lock work in the building. There is a fee for
key duplication.
Building Security: Lobby Doors
Please use the revolving doors in the lobby whenever possible, as opposed to the swing doors. This allows
us to keep the lobby air warm during the winter months, and cool in the summer.
Building Security: Lost and Found
Please contact the Building Management Office at 212-244-3125 regarding items that have been lost or
found in the building.
Building Security: Reception Area
Reception Area
The key to reducing most, if not all, security problems in a Tenant’s office space, is the receptionist in the
reception area. He/ She is one of the most valuable employees in any firm. A receptionist can make it
difficult, if not impossible, for an unwelcome visitor to enter their firm’s office space. This is accomplished in
the following ways:
All Visitors Should be Requested To:
1. State their Name
2. State their Business
3. Show Identification (upon request)
4. State who they wish to see
5. Wait and be Seated
The receptionist should then call the person concerned and have them meet the visitor in the
reception area and escort him or her to their office. Upon completion of business conducted, the
visitor should be escorted back to the reception area and shown to the door. If the guidelines are
followed, there should be no unwelcome visitors roaming around your office space.
It is every Tenant’s responsibility to request a source of identification from a repairman, telephone
employee, computer worker, etc. This should be obtained before an individual is allowed access into
your office space. He/she should be escorted to the work area and escorted back to the reception area
when he/she finishes work. Any unknown person observed in an inside office area should be
challenged at all times. Wallets and valuables should be locked in a desk or drawer in the office and
kept out of view from anyone passing by.
SECURITY IN A TENANT’S OFFICE DURING BUSINESS HOURS IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF
THAT TENANT. IF BUILDING STAFF CAN BE OF ANY ASSISTANCE TO YOU, FEEL FREE TO
CALL 212-947-4894.
Never leave your reception area unattended. Do not allow visitors or couriers to pass beyond the
reception area unless the receptionist who is aware of the nature of their business knows them.
Beware of repairman attempting to pick up a machine for repair. Question the person, obtain
identification and check with his office for verification.
Never lease purses, wallets, or other valuable items on or under your desk. Keep these items out of
sight.
Do not keep cash or stamps in an unlocked drawer. Valuables should be kept in a safe, if available.
Do not carry large sums of money. Do not leave your wallet in a jacket hung over your chair or behind
your door.
Never allow visitor traffic in storage areas. Do not make storage rooms easily accessible from the
main business area.
Be alert to persons who enter an office under the pretext of seeking employment. Keep applicants in
your sight at all times. Distribute applications while you phone your firm’s personnel manager.
Immediately report all suspicious persons, peddlers, or others purporting to be canvassing to the
Building Management Office or the Security Desk. Do not attempt to apprehend or detain these
persons.
Do not allow a person unknown to you to follow you into the building when entry is required by an
access card.
Inspect locking hardware on your office suite doors. Notify the Building Management Office if repair or
replacement is necessary.
Do not keep valuable or moveable belongings near doors. Record the serial numbers of all office
equipment.
Contact the Building Management Office if security system access cards or office keys cannot be
accounted for or are missing.
Report all lost security cards to the Building Management Office immediately so that they cannot be
used by unauthorized persons.
Always lock your door from inside when working late or early.
Be certain that your employees who require after-hours access to the building are given access cards.
Alert Kastle Systems immediately following any employee termination so that the security card issued
to the former employee can be immediately voided in order to restrict access to the building.
Building Security: Security Procedures
1. Building Identification Cards: The purpose of this card is for identification of the Tenant to gain
entrance into the building at all times. Requests for I.D. cards must be submitted via the on-line work
order system. Each employee must also have their photo taken at the Building Management Office,
once an I.D. card has been assigned/ issued.
2. Visitor Pass: All visitors must stop at the Security/ Concierge Desk, produce valid photo identification,
and then be issued a visitors pass.
3. Messengers & Food Vendors: Messengers, food vendors, or deliveries of any kind must enter through
the building’s freight entrance on 36th Street from Monday through Friday 8:00 am to 5:45 pm. When
the freight area is closed, no deliveries will be permitted beyond the Security/ Concierge Desk
(Monday through Friday after 6:00 pm, and all day Saturdays, Sundays, and Holidays). All delivery
people will be stopped at the Security/ Concierge Desk and the Tenant is to be notified of his/her
delivery by the carrier. They will be personally responsible to come down to the lobby to sign and
retrieve it.
4. Any unknown person observed within your office should be questioned and identified. Request the
nature of his/her business and whom they are there to see. WHEN IN DOUBT, NOTIFY YOUR
BUILDING MANAGEMENT OFFICE AT 212-244-3125. Whenever reporting a breach of security, try
to be as specific as possible. Describe clothing, features, location, possible destination, etc., as well
as providing your name and suite number.
5. Loitering and soliciting is prohibited in the building. Whenever loiterers are observed in the building,
call the lobby and give a description to Security: sex, color, age, height, weight, and clothing.
Telephone workers must provide I.D. before you allow them to work in your office space.
Messengers, etc., should provide I.D. whenever picking up or delivering packages.
6. Special care should be taken during the times best suited for pilferage: the beginning of the day,
during lunch hours and 30 minutes before the closing day, and when there is a maximum of
movement by personnel and absence from work area and offices.
Building Security: Your Role in Security
Your Role in Security
Many thefts and crimes against people occur during regular business hours and are usually perpetrated
under the pretext of legitimate business. Offenses committed during after-hour periods often indicate laxity
in control of passkeys, security cards, and alarm systems.
Investigations reveal that a large number of crimes would not have been committed had office personnel
been alert to strangers or had they taken a few simple precautions.
Remember that security depends on the cooperation and concern of each individual. Protect yourself and
your assets.

Try to attract someone’s attention in the office discreetly and quietly while listening to the caller.
Try to keep the caller talking as long as possible. Ask the person to repeat parts of the
message. Remain calm.
Write down the message using the exact words of the caller and obtain as much relevant
information as possible.
Listen for background noises that may provide a clue as to where the call is originating.
Pay attention to the voice of the caller so that you might be able to identify it should you hear it
again. Listen for accents, dialects, speech impediments, etc.
Upon receiving a bomb threat via telephone, immediately call 911 to report the threat.
Also report the threat to the Building Management Office at 212-244-3125 and/or Security Desk
at 212-947-4894.
Advise your Office Manager or Supervisor of the threat and meet with emergency service
personnel who respond to your location.
Building Management Office will notify the following:
Local Police
In-house Security
Staff
Tenants
The building staff will assist the local authorities in:
Evacuation in part or in full
Search for the device
Building Staff will maintain a close relationship at all times with the local authorities to ensure
maximum protection of the occupants, the building, and themselves.
When the alert is over, the Building Management Office shall notify all Tenants.
If you are notified of a bomb threat, determine if any suspicious or unusual objects exist within your
premises.
The importance of not touching any suspicious package or article cannot be stressed enough.
Explosive devices may appear in a recognizable form, or they may be very sophisticated, and
disguised to not be easily discernible.
Removal of any suspicious object should be left to local authorities.
Do not assume there is only one suspicious object.
Having located any of the aforementioned items dictates the need to take immediate safeguards for
the protection of life and property.
Clear the immediate area. Position yourself in a manner that affords the best possible protection while
keeping the area isolated until local authorities arrive.
Do not touch the suspicious items. Immediately report the location to the authorities.
Open all doors in the immediate area.
Suspicious objects must be left to local authorities for removal.
Do not place any material over the suspicious items; this may only add to the destructive capacity of
an explosive device.
Do not use any cellular devices near the suspicious package.
Life Safety and Emergency Procedures: Elevator Malfunction
In the event that an elevator stops with passengers in it, remember to remain calm. Pressing any
emergency button within the cab will alert Building Management that the cab is malfunctioning, the cab
number, and what floor it is stuck on. The Guard will continue two-way communication with passengers until
help arrives.
In the event of a power outage, the battery back-up lighting will continue to operate.
IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE, ELEVATORS MUST NOT BE USED FOR EVACUATION. USE THE

Life Safety and Emergency Procedures: Emergency Systems and Procedures
This section of the Tenant Handbook is designed to familiarize you with the various building safety systems
and their operations.
INTRODUCTION
1359 Broadway is in full compliance with all Local Law 5 provisions, and is equipped with the required fire
alarm/emergency communication system. This system will indicate any alarm location at a screen located in
the lobby and it will also provide flexibility to accommodate future alarm points as you may require.
The system comprises voice communication equipment; smoke detectors and full passenger elevator recall
capability. Control of these functions is via the Fire Command Station situated in the building lobby and
allows the Fire Safety Director to communicate with all parts of the building.
FIRE SAFETY PLAN
The Building Management has developed a Fire Safety Plan designed to establish a systematically safe and
orderly method of evacuating an area or areas in the building. This will be carried out in the least possible
time and you will be directed to a safe area or the nearest safe means of egress. It will also provide
instructions for the use of all available fire appliances, including fire extinguishers, which are provided for
controlling and extinguishing fire and safeguarding human life. The Fire Safety Plan will provide you with
information and instructions, which will ensure the prompt reporting of a fire, the quick response to fire
alarms, and the immediate initiation of safety procedures, thus safeguarding life and containing the fire until
the arrival of the Fire Department.
FIRE SAFETY DIRECTOR
The Building Management Staff (4) are trained Fire Safety Directors. They are familiar with and involved in
developing the Fire Safety Plan, ensuring that all Tenants at 1359 Broadway are adept fully trained and
aware of all fire safety procedures.
FIRE SAFETY WARDEN
Each Tenant should, upon receiving instructions from one of the Fire Safety Directors, make responsible
and dependable employees available for designation as Fire Safety Wardens. This will ensure that each
floor in the building will be under the direction of a designated Fire Safety Warden who will be familiar with
the Fire Safety Plan and will receive a complete set of directions and guidelines to direct a floor evacuation
in the event of a fire.
BUILDING EVACUATION SUPERVISOR
24 Hour coverage during weekends and building holidays will be provided via the Building Evacuation
Supervisor who will be the porter / security guard manning the building lobby. In the event of a fire, this
person will man the Fire Command Station in the lobby and direct the evacuation of the building as outlined
in the Fire Safety Plan.
OCCUPANT’S INSTRUCTIONS
Fire Drills will be conducted once every six (6) months and all occupants of 1359 Broadway must participate
in these drills. However, you will not be required to leave the floor or floors that you occupy or use the exits
during the drill.
You will be issued specific instructions for the fire drill by fire consultants and the Fire Safety Director
including the duties of the Fire Safety Wardens, and Searchers which are outlined in the Fire Safety Plan.
FIRE SAFETY INSTRUCTION TO ALL TENANT/OCCUPANTS
In the event of a fire at any location within the building you will be immediately alerted by the characteristic
sound of an alarm from the speakers located at strategic locations in the common areas and tenant spaces
within the building. These alarms will be followed by a voice announcement, which will communicate the
specific situation and instructions to building occupants.
The appointed Fire Safety Warden for each floor will be instructed in the proper procedures to follow to
assist all occupants to evacuate your space and floor. The procedure will be rehearsed during the fire drills,
which will be conducted every six (6) months to familiarize occupants with the means of notification and
evacuation.
IN THE CASE OF FIRE OCCUPANTS FOR THEIR OWN SAFETY MUST COMPLY WITH THE
FOLLOWING:
1. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS OF THE DESIGNATED FIRE SAFETY WARDEN.
2. USE FIRE EGRESS STAIRS TO EXIT THE BUILDING AS DESIGNATED BY FIRE WARDEN.
3. DO NOT USE ELEVATORS UNLESS INSTRUCTED TO DO SO BY THE FIRE DEPARTMENT,
BUILDING PERSONNEL OR THE FIRE SAFETY DIRECTOR.
4. DO NOT FIGHT ANY FIRES. IF YOU OBSERVE A FIRE:
USE THE NEAREST PULL STATION ALARM, WHICH ARE CLEARLY IDENTIFIED.
b. CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AT 911
c. CALL THE FIRE SAFETY DIRECTOR
All fire egress stairs are clearly identified. All occupants should become familiar with their locations.
Please ensure that all doors and exit doors are kept clear of cartons, debris, furniture, etc., at all times.
Remember that NO SMOKING is permitted in the Building in accordance with NYC Law.
Generally, only the fire floor and the floor directly above are to be evacuated in the event of a fire. All other
floors are to remain in readiness unless otherwise notified by the Fire Department or your Fire Safety
Director.
If you employ or intend to employ any person who is handicapped or physically unable to use stairs, you
must arrange for able-bodies personnel to assist them in a building evacuation. Those assisting personnel
must be registered with the Fire Safety Director.
Life Safety and Emergency Procedures: Evacuation
Each Tenant should establish an internal policy regarding evacuation in the event of a bomb threat. 1359
Broadway does NOT make this decision. In some cases, the police may order evacuation; otherwise, it is
left to the sole discretion of the Tenant. Once your company has established an evacuation plan, please
send a copy to the Building Management Office for our files.
Life Safety and Emergency Procedures: Fire Safety Emergency Team and
Procedures
The emergency team consists of the Fire Safety Director, Deputy Fire Safety Director, building and security
staff, Fire Safety Wardens, Deputy Wardens (appointed by each Tenant from among their respective
employees), and the Fire Brigade. The primary function of the Fire Safety Wardens and Deputy Wardens is
to ensure the safe and orderly evacuation of the occupants of the building in the event required by an
emergency. This is accomplished by communication and the joint efforts of all members of the Emergency
Team.
Fire drills are held once every six (6) months and all Tenants are expected to cooperate, and learn the
procedures to be followed in the event of an emergency. Tenants and their employees should familiarize
themselves with all the exits and fire alarm devices on their floor and should understand the fire safety plan,
found below.
Any questions should be directed to the Building Management Office at 212-244-3125.
Due to the resistive quality of this high rise office building, immediate evacuation of the building is
only necessary:
from floor where fire is burning
from floor areas one (1) story above fire floor
when ordered to leave by Fire Safety Director, Police, or Fire Department Personnel
Actions to be Taken by Anyone Discovering a Fire:
Any person in the building, whenever there is evidence of fire, heat, or smoke, shall initiate the transmission
of an alarm. No approval of a superior is necessary.
Alarm to be Transmitted as Follows:
1. Dial 911

actual emergency. Please ensure that all your employees know and understand their part in the event of an
evacuation. In case of an evacuation, please listen for instructions from the building’s Fire Safety Director or
Fire Department.
Life Safety and Emergency Procedures: Flooding

emergency personnel to respond, Tenants should safeguard and remove any valuable papers or
documents from the affected area. Stay away from electrical equipment and outlets in a flooded area. Do
NOT attempt to unplug or operate electrical equipment near water damaged areas. The Building
Maintenance Department will disconnect electricity serving a water damaged area, and will alert you when it
is safe to resume operation of electrical equipment.
