Yesterday Mayor Bloomberg proposed a law that would require city landlords, co-ops and condos to write down their smoking policy and give it to prospective buyers and renters so they know what to expect.
The bill does not ban smoking inside individual apartments; that's still up to each building.
But smokers shouldn't necessarily breathe easier.
Q. I rent in a high-rise building with a very well-behaved German Shepherd that has NEVER hurt anyone or behaved aggressively.
Recently, my building instituted a new rule that says dogs over 25 pounds have to ride the service elevator. This is apparently in response to parents who don't want their children sharing an elevator with a dog bigger than their precious tykes.
