California AB1742 allows service of summons and complaint in commercial buildings with controlled access.
California AB1742 amends the Code of Civil Procedure to allow service of summons and complaint in commercial buildings where access is controlled by security personnel or similar agents. If a process server is refused entry or prevented from making direct service, they may leave a copy with the person in charge of access, such as security or concierge staff. This applies to buildings like office towers and mixed-use structures with commercial occupancy. The server must then mail a copy to the tenant.
