Now that the weather is getting warmer, many people are getting out their aprons, tongs, and barbecues to enjoy their patios or gardens.<\/strong> However, if you live in an apartment building, before lighting the fire you should check whether or not barbecues are allowed in your building.<\/p>\n

Is it legal to barbecue on a terrace? What the law says<\/h2>\n

The truth is that there is no national law that prohibits barbecues in private spaces.<\/strong> However, municipalities and apartment buildings may establish prohibitions on the use of barbecues on private property, with limitations depending on the type of barbecue used.<\/p>\n

How do you know if you can barbecue at home?<\/h2>\n

To find out if you can have a barbecue at your home, you should consult the municipal regulations and the bylaws of your homeowners’ association:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Check the regulations in your city.<\/strong> Visit your homeowners’ association’s website and your city hall’s website to see if there are ordinances regulating the use of barbecues. You can also call Civil Protection to ask or go to the city hall in person. Keep in mind that each community has its own decree or plan regarding fire prevention<\/strong> and suppression during the summer months.<\/li>\n
  • Check if there are any restrictions in the bylaws of your homeowners’ association,<\/strong> as barbecues may be limited or prohibited in the building’s common areas, such as the rooftop or ground floor. Otherwise, if the bylaws do not prohibit it, you can have a barbecue on your balcony, terrace, or garden, always complying with safety regulations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
