534 West 42nd Street Smoking Policy Survey

RE: Adoption of a Building Smoking Policy As Required By NYC Law
The City of New York has enacted a new law which requires all residential building in The City to adopt a smoking policy and conspicuously post it.
Our building is a condominium which means that the smoking policy has to become part of the by-laws which require a 66 2/3% majority in number and common interest.
The deadline for adopting a smoking policy is August 19, 2018.
In light of the above, the Board is taking a survey so that we can formulate a policy  which we can pass.
Please answer the following:
1. Would you support a policy which does not limit smoking in any way?
2. Would you support a policy which prohibits smoking in the lobby?
3. Would you support a policy which prohibits smoking in the basement? 
4. Would you support a policy which prohibits smoking in the service hall entranceway to the building?
5. Would you support a policy which prohibits smoking on the roof?
6. Would you support a policy which prohibits smoking on the balconies of the units?
7. Would you support a policy which prohibits smoking in front of the building?
8. Would you support a policy which prohibits smoking within 25' of the front of the building?
9. Would you support a policy which prohibits smoking within units?
Please note that the by-laws already prohibit odors and the like which might be offensive to neighbors.   
Also note that smoking is prohibited in stairwells and exit passageways by law.
Finally, please understand that this is a survey and it's your opportunity to supply input so that we can formulate a smoking policy as required by law.  
Just because you vote one way or another, doesn't mean the building will go that way.  We have to try to reach a consensus.
Send me an email, text or call if you have any questions.
