Chandler has adopted the 2024 International Fire Code under Chapter 28 of the City Code. IFC Section 308.1.4 prohibits charcoal burners and LP-gas grills with cylinders over 1-pound water capacity from being operated on combustible balconies or within 10 feet of combustible construction on multi-family buildings (Group R-2). One- and two-family dwellings are exempt. Sprinklered buildings and noncombustible balconies have exceptions.
Chandler administers fire prevention under Chapter 28 of the City Code with adoption of the 2024 International Fire Code. IFC Section 308.1.4 (Open-Flame Cooking Devices) provides that charcoal burners and other open-flame cooking devices may not be operated on combustible balconies or within 10 feet of combustible construction. LP-gas cooking devices with LP-gas containers having a water capacity not greater than 2.5 pounds (nominal 1-pound LP-gas capacity) are excepted. Three additional exceptions apply: one- and two-family dwellings; buildings, balconies, and decks protected by an automatic sprinkler system; and listed equipment installed per its listing. Chandler Fire and Health Department enforces compliance, often through complaint response and apartment community inspections. Many apartment communities and HOAs in Chandler add stricter no-grill policies through lease addenda and CCRs, prohibiting all grilling on balconies regardless of fuel type.
Use of a prohibited grill on a Chandler multi-family balcony violates Chandler City Code Chapter 28 and the adopted 2024 International Fire Code, with citations from Chandler Fire and required removal. Property owners face additional administrative penalties. Lease violations can lead to eviction. Fire damage from prohibited grills typically voids renter or homeowner insurance and creates civil liability for damages to other units and common areas.
