SmokeNov 22, 2009


I believe this issue has been discussed, however -- we really have a problem. A chain smoker is making life unbearable for two owners -- one next door and the other above. Plus, you can smell the smoke in the hall.

This has been an on-going problem for two years. We have tried fans, etc, etc etc,,, but the problem is the smoker. She is the daughter of the owner, and seems to care less. The owner has been contacted, but there is no change.
QUESTION: Should the Board step in with legal threats. Do we actually have any rights OR is this a dispute to be settled between the owners.
We realize that we cannot stop someone from smoking (we dont want to go there) in their apartment, but this is becoming a health/quality of life question.... Anyone with any ideas please chime in.

Thank you HG

Smoke - Resident Manager Nov 24, 2009


The buiilding Super/Resident Manager should seal the smokers apt as well as the adjacent apts to prevent the smoke for entering the non-smokers apt. Also the smoker has to properly vent his/her apt.
