    It's reportable to the HSE, do that, they should investigate the safety of the gates, and the sensors not working.

    Possibly, there have been fatalities and HSE prosecutions with automatic gates. If the design wasn't safe the designer/manufacturer/installer could be liable. If it was a maintenance issue the management company could be in the frame.
