When it comes to commercial security staffing in New York City, property owners and managers know that safety is more than just a requirement, it’s an investment in tenant satisfaction, property value, and long-term stability.

At Building Security Services of New York, we’ve been safeguarding properties since 1982, delivering the professionalism, accountability, and local expertise that NYC businesses demand.

From the corporate towers of Midtown Manhattan, to bustling Brooklyn retail centers, to healthcare campuses in Queens and government facilities in Lower Manhattan, our security teams are trained, licensed, and ready to provide round-the-clock protection.

Why Commercial Security Staffing Matters in NYC

New York City is the nation’s commercial hub, and with that comes unique security challenges:

  • Rising crime rates in urban areas put pressure on building owners and managers to deliver safer environments.
  • Tenant retention depends on trust, without visible and reliable security, Class A tenants look elsewhere.
  • Regulatory compliance at financial institutions, healthcare centers, and government facilities is non-negotiable.
  • High-profile risks including workplace violence, data center intrusions, and active shooter scenarios demand preparedness.

Your building doesn’t just need security, it needs professional, accountable, and local staffing solutions that match New York’s pace and complexity.

We provide tailored staffing models for different industries and building types:

  • Office Towers & Class A Buildings – Concierge-style security officers, lobby management, and visitor access control in Midtown, Downtown, and the Financial District.
  • Retail & Shopping Centers – Loss prevention and customer safety at malls in Queens, Brooklyn, and Staten Island.
  • Healthcare & Hospitals – Patient and staff safety with specialized security protocols for hospital facilities in the Bronx and Manhattan.

  • Manhattan: From Wall Street high-rises to Hudson Yards developments, we protect the city’s most iconic commercial centers.
  • Brooklyn: With rapid growth in Downtown Brooklyn and Williamsburg, we deliver security that balances hospitality with strong deterrence.

  • Bronx: Industrial zones like Hunts Point require specialized perimeter security and cargo protection.
