On November 3rd, the Brisbane City Council voted to adopt Ordinance No. 611, which prohibits smoking of tobacco products, including electronic cigarettes, in multi-unit residences. This pertains to the enclosed and unenclosed common areas of a multi-unit residence, unless it is a designated smoking area. Brisbane has joined about 20 other cities or county unincorporated areas in Northern California requiring multi-unit housing to be smoke-free. Note: This ordinance does not apply to those with a medical marijuana card.
The Code Enforcement Officer will work with the County in educating the offender before enforcing the ordinance.
