FIRES OR BARBECUES ON BALCONIES OR PATIOS
In any structure containing three or more dwelling units, no person shall kindle, maintain, or cause any fire or open flame on any balcony above ground level, or on any ground floor patio within 15 feet of the structure. Fuel Storage is also prohibited - no person shall store or use any fuel, barbecue, torch, or other similar heating or lighting chemical or device in these designated locations.
Exception: Listed electric or gas-fired barbecue grills that are permanently mounted and wired or plumbed to the building's gas supply or electrical system and that maintain a minimum clearance of 18 inches on all sides, unless listed for lesser clearances, may be installed on balconies and patios only when approved by the fire chief.
