As of publication, the state of Massachusetts was still in the very early stages of “opening up” after a months-long stay at home order due to the coronavirus pandemic. With summer beckoning, and large public gatherings still off-limits, many families are going to be looking for ways to have fun at home.

But some summer activities have the potential for disaster in multifamily units, where some tenants may not have easy access to yard space.

Still others may be tempted to purchase and light off fireworks. Review our article, “Summer Fire Safety for Multifamilies,” and make sure your renters know how to avoid disaster this summer.
