I spoke to Brittany in an email of a safety concern and hazard of smoking outside my apartment Complex but before I could respond I needed to respond on what she stated to do Dear Audrey Brittingham, Thank you for your response regarding Case #209518. I would like to request that someone visit the site to inspect the designated smoking area and the cigarette disposal containers. Because the apartment complex has established a permanent smoking area immediately outside this non-smoking building, violations are constant and can be observed at any time. The police have responded to this location multiple times due to fires caused by smoking. They informed me that this is a government or HAND (Housing and Neighborhood Development) issue; however, each time I report it, I am referred to a different department. Is it possible for a representative to see this firsthand without me calling the non-emergency line? Additionally, would the Health Department be able to assist, or is there another official who can verify the proximity of this smoking circle to the building? I have numerous photos available to provide as proof if needed. I look forward to your guidance on who can specifically address this ongoing safety concern. Best regards, Jessica Hanna
I am writing this in regards to living in an apartment that has a smoking area( our building is a smoke free environment ) but the area if the smokers is very close to my window and right on the edge of the building. I guess the property manager considers that off property but it's right outside the building so I'm not too sure of the property lines but I feel like it's way too close to the building not to mention that on multiple occasions we've had to put fires out that are started from cigarette butts not being extinguished completely when putting in the bucket and people putting trash in there and it catching on fire, so that a major concern as well. The manager addressed it with a letter but I have still found the issue of the can smoldering. I asked my property manager at least if they could get the professional kind of cigarette butt extinguishers so that it was definitely out and could I just smell but never really got an answer and smoke is coming in through the window in the gaps. I know that any smoking area needs to be 8 ft away from an exit but I also was under the impression that it should be 25 ft away from any building window or vent system which mine is definitely closer than 25 ft and I'm really really getting tired of the smoke coming in to my building through the window into the apartment. I have written a complaint to landlord multiple times.

The Bishop Bar allows heavy cigarette smoking outside within their fenced in area. I've observed this on multiple occasions, especially in the later night hours. Perhaps they need reminder of the city ordinance that disallows this to remember to enforce it.
