Smoking Fatality Endangers Condo Residents

Article Summary: 

In August 2019, a condo owner caused a fire in her unit while smoking in bed, which endangered all residents of the building. The woman fell asleep in bed while smoking and using oxygen tubes, putting the entire community at risk. There is little that condo corporations can do to prevent such irresponsible actions short of banning smoking in the building, which requires a modification of governing documents and a vote of owners, which may be necessary to protect residents from fatal consequences.



Keywords: 

condo, smoking, fire, risk, residents, oxygen tubes, irresponsible, ban, governing documents, vote, fatal consequences.
