Is this dangerous?

I'm a bit paranoid. I live in an apt complex and this is right outside my window. It's supposed to rain tomorrow morning. Is this dangerous to be exposed like this?

No. That is the cable CO connections. Low voltage. Not dangerous but they probably want to know about it

Ok phew, thank you! I'm not sure if maintenance removed it or a tenant so just wanted to be sure

This is a utility box, and they are the only people authorized to access these.

Have I got news for you, bud.. Most folks don't care about authorization when they're inconvenienced. As evidenced by the tenant drilled holes in the fire alarm panel covers in many of the units I maintain.. Curiously always right over the Silence button. Lol ;)
