1 Originally published in New York Law Journal COOPERATIVES AND CONDOMINIUMS November 1, 2017 NEW YORK CITY REQUIRES ADOPTION OF A SMOKING POLICY By Eva Talel S ince at least 2006, when the United States Surgeon General issued a report concluding that exposure to second-hand smoke ( SHS ) can cause or exacerbate heart disease, lung cancer, strokes, and respiratory ailments, 1 co-op and condominium boards and managers have struggled with how to deal with SHS in the buildings they represent and manage. 2 This column discusses recent New York City legislation that imposes on residential landlords and boards the obligation to adopt a smoking policy within one-year, and federal legislation which requires public housing agencies to implement a smoke-free policy banning the use of prohibited tobacco products in public housing apartments and adjacent outdoor space by mid This column also provides guidance to boards and managers as to how to establish the required policy and also limit the proliferation of SHS in co-op and condominium buildings.
2 Required Smoking Policy On August 28, 2017, Local Law ( LL 147 ) was enacted into law. It requires that every residential building, expressly including co-op and condominium buildings, establish a written policy that states where in the building (and in all common outdoor areas, including common courtyards, rooftops, balconies and patios) smoking is permitted or prohibited, and to do so no later than the one year anniversary of LL 147 s enactment. The law requires that the policy (and any material changes thereafter made to it) must be provided to all tenants/apartment owners and publicly displayed in the building. Specifically regarding co-op and condominium buildings, LL 147 requires that apartment owners must incorporate the building s smoking policy into any agreement made by them to rent or sell an apartment, and boards must incorporate the policy into the entity s bylaws or rules. The City Council s and Mayor s stated rationale for enacting LL 147 was, among other reasons, to encourage more buildings to adopt smoke-free policies because [t]here is no safe level of exposure to [SHS]. 4 The City Council also noted that the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ( HUD ) recently issue[d] a rule that will require public housing authorities nationwide, including NYCHA, to adopt smoke-free policies by mid-2018, including a 25-foot smoke-free perimeter around every building (the HUD Rule ). 5 While LL 147 does not prohibit smoking within apartments, nor does it require that any specific prohibitions be included in a building s smoking policy, it does extend the current law prohibiting smoking in building common areas to buildings with fewer than ten apartments, including co-op and condominium buildings. Essentially, LL 147 is a disclosure statute, enacted so that prospective tenants and purchasers of apartments can make an informed decision as to whether a building s smoking policy is one which makes the building a desirable home for such tenant/purchaser. And while owners of residential rental buildings may lawfully incorporate a building-wide smoking ban, including within non-rent-regulated individual apartments, co-op and condominium buildings likely may not do so without amending the co-op building s proprietary lease and the condominium s bylaws by the requisite vote of apartment owners. 6 Nonetheless, there are steps boards can take to limit the proliferation of SHS, and the HUD Rule provides legal support for boards to do so. 2
3 Rationale for HUD Rule Requiring a Building Wide and Perimeter Smoking Ban In adopting the HUD Rule, HUD addressed and rejected a number of comments and challenges - - determinations which also provide support for board actions, including proposing the adoption by apartment owners of a building-wide smoking ban in order to address SHS. Thus, objections were raised to the HUD Rule s ban on smoking in outdoor areas within a 25- feet of a building s perimeter. HUD rejected the objections, finding that a sufficient perimeter is... needed to prevent SHS from entering windows that are open in units on lower floors and [SHS] exposure to individuals [within], and that toxins present in SHS approach ordinary background levels [only] approximately 23 feet from the source, thereby justifying enactment of a 25-foot building perimeter smoking ban. 7 Objections to the HUD Rule were also raised based on the burden placed on residents who are smokers i.e., to cease smoking or travel beyond the building s 25-foot smoke-free perimeter in order to smoke. This challenge too was rejected by HUD, finding that there is no right to smoke and smokers are not a protected sub-class under anti-discrimination laws HUD also noted that under its regulations, existing tenants cannot be grandfathered by exempting them from the application of the HUD Rule. Similar objections were raised based on the HUD Rule s alleged invasion of civil rights because it would ban an individual s freedom to do something that is legal and is an invasion of smokers privacy rights people should be allowed to smoke in their own homes. 9 Again, HUD rejected these objections: courts have found that smoke-free policies do not violate the Equal Protection clause because there is no fundamental right to smoke [and a smoking ban therefore] does not infringe on a fundamental Constitutional right. 10 Last, HUD rejected the argument that a ban on indoor smoking would be unnecessary if better building construction methods were used or by improving ventilation, noting that the Surgeon General concluded that cleaning the air, and ventilating buildings, cannot [fully] eliminate exposure to [SHS]. 11 Adopting a Smoking Policy and Related Recommendations Boards and managers should deliberate, consult apartment owners and counsel as they deem appropriate, and adopt, disseminate and display the required smoking policy not later than mid-august of Based on the scope and intent of LL 147, and the rationale of the HUD Rule, such a policy may and should address all common areas, including all of the building s common outdoor spaces and a perimeter area around the building. Based on HUD s rejection of objections to the HUD Rule, smoking limitations in building perimeters are enforceable. In 3
4 addition, boards and managers should advise apartment owners to include the building s smoking policy in any lease, sublease and apartment purchase contract which they enter into, and the entity s by-laws and/or house rules should be amended to incorporate the smoking policy. Further, boards may also wish to take this opportunity to consider and raise with the building s apartment owners a building-wide ban on smoking, including within individual apartments and private outdoor spaces. Based on the objections rejected by HUD, bans on smoking within apartments, when properly adopted by apartment owners under the building s governing documents, are enforceable and should, therefore, not be an impediment or disincentive to apartment owners who are considering adopting such a ban. Specifically: there is no right to smoke; smokers are not a protected class; grandfathering of existing apartment owners smoking activity is neither required nor encouraged; smoking bans are not an invasion of civil rights nor of an apartment owner s privacy rights, nor do they violate the Constitution s Equal Protection Clause. Last, boards may wish to consider adding to the board package required to be submitted by prospective purchasers an inquiry as to whether the prospective purchaser and proposed apartment occupants are smokers. Based on the rationale for adopting the HUD Rule, such a question is not legally objectionable and asking it may allow even those buildings which do not adopt a building-wide smoking ban to contain the level of SHS in the building by screening prospective apartment purchasers and permitted occupants so as to eliminate smokers. * * * Eva Talel is a partner at Stroock & Stroock & Lavan LLP and an adjunct professor at New York Law School.
