Your Apartment Keys in the Hands of a Sex Offender?

By , About.com Guide   February 2, 2010

Follow me on:

Imagine the shock of tenants living in three New York City apartment buildings upon learning that their super served nearly 20 years in prison after being convicted on multiple counts of child molestation. According to a report from CBS, the super lives in one of the buildings and allegedly offered a new tenant a break in her security deposit in return for regular sex.

If you live in an apartment building with a super, would you want to know whether he was hired after a criminal background check? Since supers have easy access to the apartments they manage, should the law require landlords to perform background checks before hiring?
