NYC Smoking Policies Required Today

Local Law 2017-147, which addresses Administrative Code Sections 17-502, 506.1, 508, and 513.2, requires all condos, co-ops and rentals in NYC to have smoking policies as of today. 

These policies must be included in the deed, the lease, the bylaws or rules, posted prominently and noticed annually. 

There are no rules of what the policies must be, but instead just that they must exist.
The purpose of these laws is to empower individuals to make informed decisions about where to live. 

Landlords - avoid civil monetary penalties by getting compliant immediately.
