What to do about this door?

6 Upvotes

Hi y'all! Moved into my apartment a few months ago, and am concerned about a door inside of my unit. It is locked to me and leads to the basement of the building which is accessible through a door on the exterior of the building and a cellar door in the backyard. The basement is frequently accessed by various contractors. I'm not trying to doubt the character of the people my landlord hires, but I'm a woman who lives alone in a large city and I don't really want to take any chances. It can't be jammed from my side because it opens into the basement. Is there anything to be done about it? Or a reasonable ask to be made of my landlord?
