Secondhand Smoking in a Residence

 

Smoking and using e-cigarettes, which includes cannabis (marijuana), is prohibited in the common areas of residential buildings with three or more units.

 
Common areas include lobbies, hallways, stairways, elevators, basements, and laundry rooms.
 
You can make a complaint to your landlord about smoking taking place in locations covered by the Smoke-Free Air Act or to the city about a building owner that has not disclosed or shared a policy on smoking to current or prospective tenants.
 
Find more information on the Frequently Asked Questions Handout by the Department of Health on the link nyc.gov/assets/doh/downloads/pdf/smoke/neighbor-secondhand-smoke-faq.pdf.
 
For a smoke free home, contact your landlord to make a smoking complaint or ask your pediatrician for an advocacy letter. Otherwise, call 311 for assistance by phone.
