The Suffolk County Legislature has approved an amendment to Chapter 754 of the Suffolk County Code which prohibits smoking in common areas of multiple dwelling buildings. The new law is in effect.
Section 754-3 provides that smoking is prohibited in common areas of multiple dwelling buildings and within a fifty (50) foot radius of all entrances, exits, and ventilation intakes to a building. “Common Areas” is defined as every enclosed or unenclosed area of a multiple dwelling building that residents of more than one unit are entitled to enter or use, including but not limited to, halls, pathways, lobbies, courtyards, stairs, community rooms, playgrounds, gym facilities, parking lots, grassy or landscaped areas, restrooms, laundry rooms, cooking areas and meeting rooms.
