Why condemned properties need active patrol

The moment a Sacramento property gets red-tagged, posted vacant, or boarded up, three timers start: squatter occupation, copper / appliance theft, and arson risk. Insurance carriers routinely deny vacancy-period losses unless documented patrol was in place — and lenders, receivers and REO holders now make patrol a default loan-servicing requirement.

Stormhammer's marked Ford Explorer hits the property on a randomized schedule, photo-stamps every door, window and boarded opening, and delivers a nightly PDF that satisfies insurer, lender and code-enforcement requirements. We do not pursue, tackle or remove squatters — we deter, document and escalate to PD/Sheriff or code enforcement.

FAQ

Condemned & vacant building security — FAQ

  • Do you patrol condemned and boarded-up buildings?+

    Yes. Stormhammer is the Sacramento area's go-to for red-tagged, condemned and vacant commercial / multi-family structures awaiting demo, rehab or insurance settlement. We provide visible deterrent patrol and re-board notifications.

  • Can you keep squatters out of a vacant property?+

    Officers cannot use force, but visible patrol + photo-stamped tour logs + immediate PD/Sheriff escalation is the legal, insurable path. We also document every breach point so unlawful-detainer counsel and code enforcement can act.

  • What does vacant / condemned property patrol cost?+

    Mobile randomized tours start at $15/tour. Standing post during high-risk periods (post-eviction, post-fire, demo prep) is $26–$32/hour with 4-hour minimum.

  • Are you BSIS-licensed and insured for vacant-property work?+

    Stormhammer Security, Inc. carries CA BSIS PPO #121830 with $2M general liability and can name the lender, receiver, insurer or REO holder as additional insured in 1 business day.

  • Do you do fire watch on damaged / condemned structures?+

    Yes. Fire-watch coverage is available during impaired-fire-system periods, post-fire stabilization, and demo prep, with logs formatted to satisfy Sacramento Fire Department and insurer requirements.

  • Can you coordinate with receivers, lenders and code enforcement?+

    Yes. Reports are PDF-exportable and designed to be shared with receivers, asset managers, code enforcement and unlawful-detainer counsel without rework.
