Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do immediately after a break-in in Midwood?▾
Call 911, do not enter until police clear the scene, do not touch the door/lock. Once cleared, photograph all damage, then call a licensed locksmith for same-day lock replacement and door reinforcement. The 70th Precinct covering Midwood recorded 413 burglaries recently.
How much does break-in repair cost in Midwood?▾
Lock replacement runs $150-$450 per lock. Door frame repair/reinforcement adds $200-$600. A full security upgrade (high-security deadbolt + reinforced frame + strike plate) costs $400-$1,000. Most renters insurance and homeowners policies cover break-in damage.
Does my Midwood landlord have to pay for break-in repairs?▾
Landlords must maintain locks and doors under NYC Admin Code 27-2043. If the break-in resulted from inadequate building security (broken vestibule lock, missing deadbolt), the landlord bears responsibility. Document the pre-existing security failures.
How can I prevent another break-in at my Midwood apartment?▾
Upgrade to high-security deadbolts (Medeco, Mul-T-Lock), install a reinforced strike plate with 3-inch screws, add a door reinforcement kit, and ensure your building entry system works properly. Ground-floor units in Midwood should add window locks and consider a security camera.
