Under the Florida Fire Prevention Code enforced in St. Lucie County, gas and charcoal grills cannot be used or stored on the balconies of apartments and condos, or within 10 feet of any multifamily structure. Single-family homeowners are not restricted this way.
NFPA 1:10.10.6.1, part of the statewide Florida Fire Prevention Code, prohibits using or kindling any hibachi, gas grill, charcoal grill, or similar cooking device on any balcony, under any overhanging portion, or within 10 feet of any structure at apartment and condominium buildings. The only exception is a listed electric portable tabletop grill not exceeding 200 square inches of cooking surface. This rule does not apply to detached one- and two-family homes, where residents may grill in their own yards using ordinary safety spacing from the house and combustibles. HOAs may impose stricter rules.
Using a prohibited grill on a multifamily balcony is a fire-code violation; the St. Lucie County Fire District can order it removed and cite the resident or property manager during inspections.
