During and after Dr. Khan's death, the family attorneys assert that the property exhibited security lapses: an unmanned security checkpoint booth, a malfunctioning electronic entry keypad, and open gates.

Commenting on the lawsuit, Attorney Mo Aziz said, "Apartment complexes and the management companies that own and operate them, have a duty to maintain the safety of the premises. The danger of ill-maintained and inoperable gates is foreseeable, yet management companies, and their employees, fail to repair or remedy the dangerous condition."
