these two could be good or bad depending on the implementation. I would like to share my apartment building with people who won't make a lot of noise, smoke cigarettes in the stairwell, threaten or steal from me, etc. I really doubt that you can screen for this without having a lot of false negatives or false positives. I have no issues with my current neighbors, but I suspect that has a lot more to do with the neighborhood and price than any active measures taken by the management.
regarding cameras, I don't have any issues with cameras at the entrance point(s) to the building. I already have to swipe in with a keyfob registered to me, so it's not like I'm losing much privacy by having my face recorded. I think the residents benefit from having at least some record of what guests are entering the complex. I'm certainly not okay with more cameras inside the building.
