Clients and Colleagues:
According to a recent New York City local law, the owners of all Class A multiple dwellings, which includes all cooperative corporations and condominiums, are required to adopt a “smoking policy” by no later than August 28, 2018. The law provides that the smoking policy must be a written declaration that states in clear and conspicuous fashion where smoking is permitted and prohibited on the premises. This smoking policy applies to existing buildings as well as offering plans that are currently in draft form. There are various ways to address the smoking policy requirement and the compliance obligations under the local law. Please feel free to call us to discuss.
