Is denial of public services by a private company a federal crime?
For example, a real estate company named Astride-A-Starship in Manitou Springs,CO that has suddenly locked down all public access away from anyone who is not a renter. This seems to serve as retaliation for public complaint filed against the current owner of the Barker House. It is preventing mail from being delivered, and interferes with access to the building by police and other public emergency personell. How can this be legal?
If a resident has a heart attack, and die because they cannot be reached by medical emergency personell, due to the fact that they are leasing a unit in the Barker House, property of Astride-A-Starship which prevents all public services to its renters due to it's current 'public area' lockdown policy, could that person's family at least sue for gross negligence?
I am a resident. However, My Lease clearly states..... "if any party undersigned in this lease commits a crime equalling a felony, this agreement of the lease is null and void. There are many witnesses to the aforementioned violation of public service denial... If this will stand up in court I would be eligibile for damages related to a need for relocation due to the disturbance that the building management has caused me.

No dictum from a private company can refuse access to medical, fire, postal, or ambulance service.

Are you a resident? If not, you've got nothing to say about it. If so, I suggest you put your energy into realistic cplaint rather than BS emergency scenarios. If someone is having a heart attack inside, Fire and EMS are coming in, no matter what the management company says.
