    Is it ok to BBQ in one's Balcony in an apartment building ?

    I live in Tung Chung Seaview Crescent and have managed to get the Balcony Flat which is elusive to some!

    So I think the best use of a Balcony is having a BBQ, just like to know if there is any restriction about doing a BBQ in a Balcony like neighbour frowning / Police Visiting etc?

    I would consider buying a BBQ kit based on this fact!

    Should be fine but check with upstairs that they're not drying out their laundry first

    If I lived above you, you could expect at least one complaint!

    My family always used to do it when I was a kid. When I mentioned to some local friends they should come round for a bbq in my flat though they were completely confused as to why you would do that - but only because you can't bbq hk style that way.

    I've never seen notices to say you can't so I would try it and see. Worst thing that would happen would be building mgmt knocking on your door telling you to put it out.

    May be you can consider renting a bbq for a month or two before you buy...
    I'd ask the building management regarding their policy on this.
    Also, even if you are allowed to have, just make sure you invite your upstairs neighbour...

    I think part of living in an apartment is extra consideration for your neighbours. Is the smell and noise likely to impact on your neighbours significantly? That's the question you need to ask yourself.

    Check the building rules first.

    So now you're not allowed to have more than one person on your balcony at a time?
