How is it clickbait? Individuals can own a unit in a condo or apartment building.
>My downstairs neighbor smokes heavily and burns incense all day and night, and it's bad enough that I'm seriously considering moving. Sometimes I can see smoke visibly rising from the floor. This would not be a problem if the city I lived in had common-sense laws against smoking inside multi-unit buildings.
That sucks, I wonder if your building is up to code?
As someone who dislikes the smell of smokers, I like the idea of the law but I worry about allowing the reach.
- timeon 2y ago> if your building is up to code? Aren't you worried about the reach of code as well?
- kstrauser 2y agoNo? I'm sure some code is unnecessary, but I like living in a house not prone to killing me.
- rafram 2y ago> How is it clickbait? Because you can still smoke "in your own home." You can't subject your neighbors to smoke in a multi-unit building. > I wonder if your building is up to code? Certainly, as of the 1920s, when it was built. I don't think that new buildings (at least those built with fire-resistant wood frames, which is the current trend) are really better at preventing smells from moving between units anyway.
- themaninthedark 2y agoPlease move! It only takes one mistake by your neighbor to start a fire and you will have very little time to react. My concern about code is because there should be a minimum fire resistance rating between floors. The fact that you can see the smoke through your floorboards when your neighbor burning incense makes me think that there is no such barrier. Home means more than single family dwelling.... Edited to put my more important thoughts up top and my mundane reply to the thread at the bottom.
