Under ch. 232 § 232-8, operators of multiple-dwelling buildings in Island Park are generally expected to ensure that common areas—such as lobbies, hallways, laundry rooms, and stairwells—remain smoke-free, and that the no-smoking zone extends to the 50-foot perimeter around the building. Compliant operators typically post clear signage in common areas and near building entrances to inform residents and guests of the restriction. Lease agreements and building rules often reflect these requirements so that residents are aware of the prohibition from the outset of their tenancy.
