Apartment Buildings

• Smoking is allowed inside apartment units unless the unit has been designated as a smoke-free unit by the property owner.
• Smoking is prohibited in all common areas (hallways, corridors, pool decks, garages, etc) of apartment buildings.
• Smoking is prohibited on private balconies and patios. Owners may designate entire properties to be smoke-free, both inside the units and in common areas. Such a designation requires notice to tenants as specified in individual agreements. Buildings designated as smoke-free by the property owner will be certified as a "Glendale Fresh Air Zone".
• Property owners may (but are not required to) create a Smoking Permitted Area on an apartment property, as long as the area is located so that it complies with regulations.
• Resident smokers should always be considerate of non-smokers.
