6. 1. E. - Page 27 ordinances review the data they have in order to identify particular properties where multiple smoking ordinance violations are being reported. In addition, enforcement officers rarely follow up with landlords/property managers at MUH properties where smoking complaints have been received to inform them of the reported violations. Even in jurisdictions where smoking complaints data may be available, the information is not routinely shared with the TPP or TEC.77 Improvements in complaints data collection, analysis, and sharing could help increase compliance with the ordinances, evaluate trends in smoking complaints, and ultimately protect MUH residents as these laws intended. In addition to reporting a violation of multiunit housing smoking ordinances to enforcement officers, residents who are exposed to secondhand smoke have several other options: • Talking to the smoker • Addressing the issue with the landlord • Contacting the TPP's smoking hotline (650) 573-377778 • Taking independent legal action based on a "nuisance" claim 79 TPP and TEC Roles With an increase in funding allocated by the California Department of Public Health's Tobacco Control Program from $150,000 in FY 2016-2017 to $784,000 in FY 2017-2018, the Tobacco Prevention Program and Tobacco Education Coalition (through increased TPP funding) will have the resources to significantly increase their activities in support of smoke-free multiunit housing. In addition to the areas of expansion already identified by the TPP (See Background) the TPP could also use these funds to improve the content of its web pages. At present, the TPP web pages provide guidance for tenants and landlords seeking to eliminate exposure to secondhand smoke. However, they do not: • Summarize a resident's rights and obligations under the relevant MUH ordinance • Provide links to MUH jurisdictions' smoking ordinances • Advise multiunit housing residents how to complain about violations of their specific jurisdiction's MUH smoking ordinance With its additional funding, the TPP could provide the above -referenced information and links for residents in jurisdictions with MUH smoking ordinances. In addition, the TPP could devote more resources to obtaining complaints data from jurisdictions that have MUH smoking ordinances in order to consolidate that information across the county, develop trend information, and assist jurisdictions in analyzing it. To date the TPP has reported only limited success in obtaining such data from jurisdictions. 80 77 Officials from local code and law enforcement agencies: interviews by the Grand Jury. 78 "Smoke -Free Housing" County of San Mateo Health System website, accessed June 7, 2018 h!tps://www.smchealth.org/driftingsmoke smoke . 79 "Legal Options for Tenants Suffering from Drifting Tobacco Smoke" Tobacco Free CA website, accessed June 7, 2018. < http://tobaccofreeca.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/G-Le agal Options_ Smokefree-Support-for-Residenets_Making- Smokefree-Laws-Work Disabilitv-Factsheet.Ddfl 80 Official of the San Mateo County Health System: interview by the Grand Jury. 2017-2018 San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury 13
