The Protector by Malcolm Braly
Set in NYC in the Upper West Side, written in 1979. Charlie Hyatt has a rent-controlled apartment, but the crime rate in the building is high. The tenants decide to hire a security guard, but he turns out to be a scary vigilante-type who seems to be manufacturing more crime to scare the tenants into keeping him around. They feel like prisoners in their homes. But he does protect them. They never can decide if he's dangerous or not. Cool seventies details, like the Rockford Files.
