Smoking Ban Enforcement AssistanceJan 16, 2013

Our 12-unit condo building's 3-person Board passed a ban on smoking in common areas effective january 1, 2013; however, smoke continues to billow out into the common areas from 2 units. I'm concerned about enforcement; will there be an issue of proof if we begin fining the unitowner based on 'the smell of smoke in the hallways'? a thought from anyone else that has been through this would be great!

If you passed a ban on smoking in the common areas you should also add NO SMOKING IN THE BUILDING ( OWNERS UNITS) and than have a amendment to the Declarations of Condominium. this wayyouhave a legal docutment that will hold upin court. Look up the Rules of Order
