Description
Two different rules meet on this sign. The Smoke-Free Air Act requires No Smoking signs in the common areas of every building with 3 or more units: lobbies, hallways, stairs and laundry rooms. Local Law 147 of 2017 requires every such building to adopt a written smoking policy and disclose it to tenants, either by posting it or handing it out. This sign covers the first rule, and the policy version covers both at once.
Standard version
The approved wording, NO SMOKING OR ELECTRONIC CIGARETTE USE, with the international no smoking symbol, letters and symbol at least 1/2 inch high, in a contrasting, durable finish. One per common area entrance is the usual count.
Policy version
The same heading with your building’s Local Law 147 policy printed underneath: where smoking (tobacco, e-cigarettes and cannabis) is banned, whether it is allowed inside apartments or on terraces, and who to contact. Send us the policy text and we set it. Posting it satisfies the law’s disclosure option, as long as new leases also carry the policy.
Read the rules: Smoking Policy Disclosure: Local Law 147, Where to Post Each Sign in the Lobby.

Quick answers
Is the No Smoking sign the same as the Local Law 147 policy?
No. The sign is required by the Smoke-Free Air Act in every 3 or more unit building. The policy is a written document you give with leases and post or hand out yearly. The policy version of this sign does both.
Can the policy allow smoking in apartments?
Yes. Local Law 147 only requires you to adopt and disclose a policy. Common areas stay smoke free by law whatever the policy says.
