The City of Buffalo, working with the Erie-Niagara Tobacco-Free Coalition passed a Landlord Disclosure Law, as part of the Rental Dwelling Unit Registration (Chapter 264, Section 264-11). This is the first law of this type to be passed not only in New York State, but also on the east coast. Since 2007 the Coalition has joined advocates across the country to educate landlords about the many values related to smoke free housing. To date, landlords have adopted 100% smoke-free policies in more than 90 multi-unit dwellings in Erie and Niagara County.
