The Purpose of This Guide
In the spirit of promoting community and safety, we wish to share some grilling alternatives to help Long Island homeowners, shareholders, and residents enjoy spring and summer.
This guide is for inspiration and information purposes only. Therefore, please check your communities’ policies around grilling, grilling equipment (including proper storage, usage, and placement when grilling), and always use proper safety when cooking with or without a grill to prevent fire hazards.
Check Your Governing Documents Regarding Grills and Propane Tanks
Due to the potential fire hazards that can come with grilling, many co-ops, condos, and HOAs prohibit grilling all together, or prohibit grilling in certain locations in or near buildings and structures (local fire codes also play a role in these policies). This may also include storage of grills and propane tanks in your community. Therefore, it is important to review your governing documents to understand what is and is not permitted to help prevent safety hazards and adhere to local fire code.
