Queens Councilman Donovan Richards recently introduced legislation that would forbid New York City tenants living in city-subsidized apartments from smoking in their units. This type of law already applies in Los Angeles, Phoenix, and Albany.
The bill would apply to all 178,000 apartments in the New York City Housing Authority. The legislation does not yet specify penalties. And Richards said residents might get warnings, followed by fines for repeat offenses.
