Building Security: Introduction
SECURITY PROGRAM
For the safety of our tenants, visitors and property, CBRE has designed a security program consisting of
professionally trained and disciplined security staff personnel supported by a video monitoring and alarm
system.
There are a minimum of two (2) security officers on duty 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our security staff
is instructed to assist tenants and visitors in a courteous and professional manner.
All persons leaving the building with packages will be required to have an authorized building pass, a signed
authorization on your company letterhead. The building pass will identify the package and the person
authorized to remove it, as well as bear a designated authorized signature. The pass is turned over to the
security officer prior to the individual leaving the building.
All items leaving the building other than personal belongings are subject to inspection and must be
accompanied by a “Property Pass”, a signed authorization on your company letterhead specifying the
property and person removing property.
Security officers on a daily basis will routinely patrol the interior common areas of the building including the
emergency stairwells. They will stop and identify individuals found in unauthorized areas, i.e. the stairwells,
mechanical and electrical closets, freight and passenger elevator lobbies and other areas frequented only
by building personnel.
All incidents occurring in the building or within its contiguous area will be recorded by the security officer on
duty.
In the event of a building emergency during non-business hours, contact the security officer on duty at the
Fire Command Station in the main lobby at (212) 682-7565.
Building Security: Building Access
The building is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with the following restrictions:
LOBBY ACCESS
Entrance is restricted to tenants with valid CBRE ID’s and authorized visitors.
All visitors must be arranged the previous day by an authorized representative of the respective Tenant.
Visitors will be processed through the building’s Fast Pass system and issued a temporary visitor picture ID
at the time of arrival.
All deliveries and messenger services, except for individual food orders, flowers, legal papers, and money or
other redeemable currencies, are to use the messenger center at the loading dock.
Deliveries of individual food orders, flowers, legal papers, and money or other redeemable currencies must
be met in the main lobby by the tenant.
Hand trucks and carts are not allowed in the lobby or passenger elevators.
Non-Business Hour Access
After hours access to the Building is accomplished by use of the Tenant’s ID card system.
All visitors must be arranged the previous day by an authorized representative of the respective Tenant.
Visitors will be processed through the building’s Fast Pass system and issued a temporary visitor picture ID
at the time of arrival.
Building Security: Building ID/Access Cards
Photo building ID cards will be issued to all building tenant personnel. To request a new or replacement ID,
or to notify us of a card holder to be removed from the system, please use the form in the Forms Section.

employee photographs for new ID’s.
The Security Office should be notified immediately of any employee terminations. Please return terminated
employees’ cards to the Security Office.
Building Security: Tenant Management Responsibilities
Safety and security issues within tenant space are the responsibility of tenant management. Tenants are
required to comply with national, state and local building and fire codes. Additionally, tenant management
should conduct periodic training sessions and inform all their employees of the safety policies and
emergency procedures of 280 Park Avenue. A representative of 280 Park Avenue Security is available
upon request to participate in tenant safety and security awareness sessions.
Building Security: Large Meetings/Functions
In an effort to efficiently process a high volume of people entering the building at relatively the same time,
meetings, parties or other special functions with 25 or more attendees requires additional staffing
assistance in the lobby, as well as a separate check-in table located away from the lobby security desk.
Tenants have the option of providing their own receptionist/check-in attendant for the table, or a tenant may
request additional staffing from building security for a fee. A list of names of all attendees must be supplied
by the tenant in advance to the Lobby Security Desk. In addition, notification for any meeting, party or other
special function must be submitted via Quick Link Request Service using the work order system, and
received in the 280 Park Avenue Management Office at least twenty-four (24) hours in advance. If access is
not available, call Tenant Services at (212) 682-7565.
The notification should include the following:
Request for a separate check-in table and chairs in the lobby.
Request for Security to staff the check-in table if tenant not supplying staff.
Request for any other special services (i.e. janitorial, electrical, elevator).
Request overtime HVAC for non-business hours functions. (If desired)
Request elevator card access be deactivated on the function floor. (If desired)
The tenant will be charged a fee for any of the above requested services.
Building Security: Lost and Found
Please contact the Management Office at (212) 682-7565 to claim items that have been lost or found in the
buildings.
Building Security: Personal Property
While building personnel are on guard to protect your property, we suggest the following to help
keep your possessions safe:
1. Notify the building management when loiterers are observed in corridors or washrooms. Immediately
report peddlers and canvassers.
2. When there is no one in the office, do not leave the door unlocked even for a short time.
3. Handbags, coats, and other valuables should not be left unguarded in reception or open office areas.
4. It is unwise to leave valuables or personal property on desks or in unlocked drawers.
5. Keys and any access cards should be collected from employees leaving your service.
6. Make sure that all doors are closed and locked when leaving your office.
7. Stairway doors must be kept closed at all times.

All items leaving the building other than personal belongings are subject to inspection and must be
accompanied by a “Property Pass”, a signed authorization on your company letterhead specifying the
property and person removing property.
Building Security: Solicitation and Distribution
Solicitation or distribution of any kind is prohibited in all areas of 280 Park Avenue without prior written
permission from the 280 Park Avenue Management Office.
Please note the following definitions and guidelines:
Solicitation is asking, encouraging or recommending that employees, customers, or visitors contribute
money to, submit signatures for, or become members of any organization. Solicitation also includes the
selling of goods, services, merchandise, or tickets.

Emergency Procedures: Bomb Threat
Responses in the Event of a Bomb Threat
Generally, when bomb threats are made by telephone, the call is received by an employee or a switchboard
operator.
The following responses should be familiar to all employees who may be in a position to receive a telephone
threat:
1. AVOID PANIC - Panic is one of the most contagious of human emotions, and once such a state is
reached, the potential for disaster is greatly increased.
2. Consider every threat to be authentic.
3. Never antagonize the caller (experience has shown that such action may cause the caller to terminate
the call, thus eliminating any chance of obtaining information).
4. Make a note of the TIME the call is received.
5. Keep the caller on the line as long as possible. Try to elicit as much information as possible. The
answers to any or all of the following questions would be of value:
a. When will the bomb explode?
b. Where is the bomb located?
c. Where are you now?
d. What type of bomb is it?
e. Why do you want to bomb this company?
f. What is your name?
g. How do you know so much about bombs?
6. WRITE the message exactly as received.
Note: A copy of the BOMB THREAT REPORT is included.
Click here to download a Bomb Threat Checklist
Bomb and/or Bomb Threat Outside the Building
A. Response by building management representative:
1. To determine if in fact there is a suspicious package or item.
2. Notify Property Manager and Chief Engineer.
3. Property Manager, if not already done, notify NYC Police Department.
4. Ascertain what immediate danger is posed to the property as well as its occupants and visitors.
5. As directed by the NYC Police Department, conduct a building evacuation or restrict pedestrian
access to the area where the device was placed.
6. Assist the NYC Police Department or other official Municipal, State and Government agencies
involved in nullifying the explosive or encoder device,
(i.e. providing equipment, manpower, locations of shut off valves to public utility supplies to the buildings,
etc.).
7. Maintain contact with Tenant representatives advising them of the status of police and emergency
service activity and when building will be safe for reoccupancy.
It is not the function of Building Management or its designated representatives to state opinions as to the
type of device, the potential danger of the device, and the time needed to deactivate the device. The only
information passed on to tenants is that which is supplied by the public agencies and only that information
that is clearly public information. Once the police or other city, state or federal government agency
becomes directly involved in dealing with a bomb or bomb threat, they will make the final determination
when it is safe to return to the affected area.
Emergency Procedures: Elevator Entrapment
If you or one of your employees becomes entrapped in an elevator:
1. Immediately depress the alarm button which will signal an audible alarm and alert the lobby security
desk. The lobby security officer will automatically contact the passenger(s) via the elevator intercom
system.
2. Remain Calm – upon notification of the elevator malfunction and entrapment, building Security will
immediately alert the building elevator mechanic of the situation. During business hours, Monday to
Friday 8:00 am-5:00 pm, an elevator mechanic is in the building and can immediately respond to the
entrapment. During non-business hours, an elevator mechanic will be dispatched from a near-by
location.
3. Our security staff has been directed to maintain constant contact with the entrapped passenger and
to keep the individual informed of the progress of restarting the elevator.
4. Upon notification of the entrapment, security staff will ask the entrapped person(s) for names &
company affiliation, as well as emergency contact information. Security staff will also inquire if
medical attention is required.
5. Those individuals who are entrapped in an elevator are strongly advised not to attempt to exit the
elevator without assistance from qualified individuals.
6. As soon as the elevator mechanic arrives at the elevator, he will secure the elevator, level it to a floor,
open the doors and allow the passengers to exit the elevator.
Note: Do not attempt to exit an elevator when it is not level to the floor without the direction and assistance
of a qualified individual.
Emergency Procedures: Emergency and Incident Reporting
In the event of an emergency, immediately call 280 Park Avenue Security at 212.682.7565, or notify the
appropriate emergency agency directly by dialing 911.
If the emergency agency is contacted directly, also notify 280 Park Avenue at 212.682.7565. Response to
the specific location of the emergency will be more timely if 280 Park Avenue Security is prepared and can
direct the emergency agency upon its arrival.
If any of the following incidents occur, they should be reported immediately to 280 Park Avenue Security at
212.682.7565:
Fire or smoke.
Thefts or other criminal activity.
Strangers or suspicious individuals.
Solicitors on the property.
Threats or harassment.
Bomb threats or suspicious packages.
Safety hazards.
Flooding.
Lost or found property.
The above list does not include all possible incidents or emergencies that should be reported. The
important factor to remember is: "If in doubt...call!"
Because many emergencies may potentially impact other tenants, such as a bomb threat, it is required that
each tenant notify 280 Park Avenue Security at 212.682.7565 of any emergency impacting their area. After
an initial impact assessment, 280 Park Avenue Management will forward information to other tenants as
appropriate.
Emergency Procedures: Evacuation Procedure
The most critical areas for immediate evacuation are the fire floor and floor immediately above it.
Evacuation from other floors shall be instituted by instructions from the fire command station or when
conditions indicate such action.
Evacuation should be via uncontaminated stairs. Avoid stairs being used by the Fire Department. If this is
not possible, try to attract the attention of the Fire Department personnel before the fire fighters open the
door to the fire floor.
Evacuation to two or more levels below the fire floor is generally adequate. Re-entry floors are clearly
marked. During fire emergencies, you will be able to enter such floors.
Using the Fire Warden phone, keep the fire command station in the lobby informed of your location.
General Guidelines
Review and study the floor plan and the number of exits for the purpose of dividing employees into
groups and to formulate the traffic pattern for each group to primary and secondary exits.
All personnel should be aware of the location and operation of the fire alarm boxes and Fire Warden
phones.
Throughout the daily occupancy of the floor, an examination should be performed to determine that all
fire doors to stairs are maintained in closed position. Be sure that no doors are obstructed,
inoperable, or locked in violation of law, rule or regulation.
No obstruction shall be permitted in corridors or aisle spaces. A minimum aisle space of at least
three (3) feet must be maintained.
Necessary exit signs and lights shall be kept lighted and in good order.
Sprinkler heads shall not be obstructed, with a minimum clearance of 18 inches from the ceiling.
Poor housekeeping is a fire breeder. Coordinate with the Property Management Office for daily
rubbish removal.
Helpful Hints
Do not attempt to fight a fire by yourself.
Do not run; walk quickly.
Do not panic; remain calm. Wait for help if necessary.
Do not open doors that feel hot.
Do not go back for personal property or for any other reason.
If exposed to heat or smoke, stay low to the floor.
Close, do not lock, doors behind you to prevent the spread of fire and/or smoke.

FIRE SAFETY PLAN
The Building Management has developed a Fire Safety Plan for 280 Park Avenue.
The purpose of the Fire Safety Plan is to establish a safe and orderly method of evacuating the Building
occupants in the event of a fire or other emergency. It also provides instructions for the use of all available
fire appliances, including fire alarms, and warden telephones.
The Fire Safety Plan will provide you with information and instructions applying to all Building occupants
which will ensure the prompt reporting of a fire, the quick response to fire alarms, and the immediate
initiation of safety procedures. It is mandatory that all Tenants participate in periodic drills and training.
Fire Safety Director
The Building’s Fire Safety Director, as well as the Property Manager, the Chief Engineer; staff engineers
and security officers assigned to all shifts are periodically trained Fire Safety Directors / Fire Evacuation
Supervisors. They are familiar with the Fire Safety Plan and its evacuation procedures.

Fire Safety Team Instructions
Upon activation of the fire evacuation signal, the person nearest to the Fire Warden phone should
immediately contact the lobby fire command station via this intercom.
Floor Fire Warden
The Floor Fire Warden, and/or his designated alternate, is in charge of the Floor Fire Safety Team and
responsible for the team’s presence and performance.
The Fire Safety Team organization chart must be kept updated and an updated copy is to be forwarded to
the Building’s Fire Safety Director.
At the sound of the evacuation signal, the Floor Fire Warden will establish a command post by the
nearest Fire Warden phone then call the lobby fire command station.
Relay reports from your Deputy Fire Wardens and/or searchers to the fire command station as to
location and extent of the fire.
Direct members of your team to assist disabled personnel down the stairs two or more levels below
the fire. If necessary, move the occupants to still lower levels.
As soon as you have received confirmation of successful evacuation from your Fire Safety Team,
report an “All Clear” to the lobby fire command station.
Once you have reached the designated area of refuge, conduct a head count to assure that all
personnel has been safely evacuated, report this to the fire command station over the Fire Warden
phone.
Deputy Fire Wardens
As soon as the fire evacuation signal is sounded, report to your designated station, then direct
personnel to the fire exits. Once the command for evacuation is given, start moving the occupants
down the fire stairways to the designated re-entry floors.
Report the completion of your assigned evacuation area to the Floor Fire Warden.
Searchers
Your primary concern is to be sure conference rooms, lunch areas, washrooms, etc., have been
evacuated. Report back to the Floor Fire Warden.
Alarm Transmission
1. Should you discover fire or smoke, go to the nearest fire alarm box on your floor and activate the
alarm.
This alarm will be received at the fire command station in the lobby, and by the Fire Department, via a
franchised central station. It will also cause the fire evacuation signal to sound over the speaker system on
your floor and the floor above.
If you are unable to get to a fire alarm box, get to a phone and call 911.
Note: In this case, your next call should be made to the Fire Command Station in the lobby: (212)
682-7565. Report all particulars to the attendant on duty, who will activate the building fire alarm system.
2. In case of fire, use the stairs, unless otherwise instructed - The elevators serving the fire floor will
have been recalled to the Sky Lobby.
If at any time you only suspect the odor of smoke, report it to the lobby fire command station, using the Fire
Warden phone.

Emergency Procedures: Workplace Violence
Introduction
The generic term, “Workplace Violence”, is currently being utilized in society to describe a broad range of
issues dealing with acts of violence, threats of violence, harassment, intimidation and other disruptive
behavior occurring at, or resulting from, an individual’s employment. It typically involves co-workers, but
may involve non-employees against employees.
Tenants periodically report potential workplace violence concerns to 280 Park Avenue Management and
request security assistance. The purpose of this section is to outline the roles, responsibilities and
limitations of the security assistance that may be provided by 280 Park Avenue Management and to ensure
that tenants have no other express or implied expectations. 280 Park Avenue Management has no
responsibility or liability for workplace violence.
Tenant Management Responsibilities
Safety and security issues within tenant space are the responsibility of tenant management. Awareness,
early intervention and prevention of workplace violence are tenant issues that are best dealt with by the
tenant's human resources professionals, as well as managers and supervisors within the tenant’s
organization. All tenants are encouraged to develop a workplace violence prevention program for their
employees.
Tenants are advised to notify local authorities and to seek legal or other professional counsel regarding any
threat of potential violence. Additionally, if the threat includes the potential for violence to occur on 280 Park
Avenue property, the information should be provided to 280 Park Avenue Management for response
assessment and evaluation.
280 Park Avenue Management also encourages tenants to utilize their own proprietary or contract security
officers to provide security coverage within their leased space. Upon request, 280 Park Avenue
Management can provide tenants with contact names and telephone numbers of local contract security
firms. Tenants shall not deploy their own proprietary or contract security officers in the common areas of
the property without express approval from 280 Park Avenue Management.
Any acts or imminent threats of violence on 280 Park Avenue property should be reported directly to 280
Park Avenue Security at 212.682.7565 for response from the New York Police.
280 Park Avenue Management Responsibilities
Upon notification of a specific act or threat of violence, 280 Park Avenue Management shall make an
assessment and evaluation of the situation on an individual basis, considering the totality of the
circumstances and facts of each case. Every situation is unique, fluid and unpredictable; therefore
necessitating flexibility in response action.
280 Park Avenue Management may notify the police.
280 Park Avenue Management may notify other tenants and occupants, if there is reason to believe that
they may be impacted by the threatened violence.
280 Park Avenue Management may provide reasonable assistance in the common areas of 280 Park
Avenue, which is practical to expect and within the limitation of authority of its security services provider, to
assist the tenant in its efforts to mitigate potential violence committed or threatened on 280 Park Avenue
property. The response and assistance provided by 280 Park Avenue Management may vary depending
upon the specific information available. However, general guidelines and limitations are provided below.
Uniformed Security Services
280 Park Avenue Management contracts with an independent security services firm to provide uniformed
security services in the common areas of the property. The security staff are employed, trained and
supervised by such independent security services firm. The general responsibilities of the security staff at
280 Park Avenue are as follows.
Assist tenant employees, visitors and customers with directions and information.
Perform non-business hours access control services for the office buildings.
Patrol the common areas of the complex.
Document any observed or reported unusual, unfavorable, or criminal activities.
Respond to emergencies and other requests for assistance.
Notify public emergency agencies for assistance and response as appropriate.
Security officers can no accept any packages or messages on behalf of a tenant
280 Park Avenue security officers have limited training and authority in dealing with potentially violent
situations and should not be considered an alternative to public law-enforcement agencies.
Security Response to Acts or Imminent Threats of Violence
Upon notification by a tenant, of an act or imminent threat of violence occurring on the property, 280 Park
Avenue Security will:
Notify New York Police for response and assistance.
Dispatch security staff to meet and escort New York Police to the exact location and stand-by to
assist New York Police as directed.
Summon New York Emergency Medical Services (EMS), if appropriate.
280 Park Avenue security officers do not have the authority to restrain or arrest suspects.
Security Response to Potential Threats of Violence
Unauthorized Individuals
Based upon information provided by the tenant regarding a specific unauthorized individual who poses a
threat of violence, 280 Park Avenue security officers on patrol or stationed on post may be instructed to be
vigilant for attempts at entry made by unauthorized individuals.
If there is an outstanding court issued restraining order or arrest warrant in effect at the time of the
unauthorized individual’s observation, Security can request immediate New York Police response to
enforce the court order. However, it will be necessary for Security to possess a copy of the court order to
provide it to New York Police upon their arrival.
Security Escorts
280 Park Avenue Security may provide security escorts within 280 Park Avenue upon request. Any tenant
employee can request this service by calling 212.682.7565. However, since a security officer may not
always be readily available, advance notification is encouraged to avoid any delays in waiting for an escort.
It is important to note that the security escort cannot go beyond 280 Park Avenue property and the sole
purpose of the escort is to provide a uniformed security officer as a visual deterrent and to provide timely
communication for requesting New York Police assistance if necessary during the escort. 280 Park Avenue
security officers do not have authority to restrain or arrest suspects.

Office will remove any leftover material and a charge will be made to the tenant for the post-move cleaning.
Permits, Franchises, Licenses or Other Lawful Authority
The moving contractor, at its own expense, will obtain and maintain any necessary permits, franchises,
licenses, or other lawful authority required for effecting the movement, handling, and other services to be
performed. Before the move is made, the moving contractor may be required to produce evidence of such
authority to the 280 Park Avenue Management Office.
Service Elevator Reservations
At least one (1) week prior to any tenant move, it is necessary to reserve a service elevator by submitting
the request via http://280parkave.info. If access is not available, call Tenant Services at (212) 682-7565. An
hourly fee will be charged to the tenant for an elevator operator. If a scheduling conflict precludes exclusive
use, an alternate time may be necessary. See Service Elevator Reservation Information in Section 8 for
more information regarding the service elevators in each office building, including days and times available
for exclusive use reservations. Any questions regarding elevator reservations can be answered by calling
the Property Management Coordinator at (212) 682-7565.

Tenant Solutions: Extra Rubbish Removal
Rubbish that is not consistent with normal office occupancy should not be left abandoned in the freight
elevator vestibule or in any public corridor. Arrangements must be made during normal business hours with
the Property Management Office to remove this type of rubbish, for which there will be an additional charge.
The type of material that will fall into the category of extraordinary is rubbish that does not readily fit into an
average-sized waste container in a business office (2-3 gallons).
The cleaning contractor will not remove any abandoned or extraordinary rubbish from tenant floors. Only if
prior arrangements have been made with the Property Management Office will extra rubbish be removed.
No tenant is to directly contact the cleaning contractor or its representatives in regard to this service.
It is requested that all tenants cooperate in this matter to alleviate potential fire hazards as well as
maintaining an image consistent with the goals of Boston Properties.
