Overview
The Village of Oak Park is supporting housing providers and condominium associations in creating smoke-free policies for their buildings. This webpage provides resources to help interested individuals, companies, and condominium associations through the planning process.
If you are interested in creating smoke-free policies, contact us for support! You may call or email the Department of Public Health at 708-358-5480 or health@oak-park.us.
Why go smoke-free?
Each year, an estimated 28 million multi-unit housing residents in the U.S. are exposed to secondhand smoke in their home or apartment that came from another part of their building. Everyone deserves to breathe smoke-free air. The majority of multi-unit housing residents want smoke-free building policies.
Also, being smoke-free is profitable for housing providers. Turnover costs for cleaning a two-bedroom apartment previously occupied by smokers can range from $2000 to $12,000 when the costs of re-carpeting, repainting, duct cleaning, and odor removal are added up.
Illinois Smoke-free Housing Directory and Recognition Program
The program is managed by the American Lung Association in Illinois. It was developed to acknowledge properties that have adopted smoke-free policies and to assist tenants in locating a smoke-free property.
There are three levels of recognition, each based on the extent to which the property is smoke-free. To be considered for a Certificate of Recognition and to be listed in the directory, property managers or owners must complete a recognition consideration form and submit it to the American Lung Association of Illinois.
