Tenant with asthma unable to get property management to effectively enforce a zero-tolerance smoking policy against neighbors who smoke marijuana, causing health issues and frustration.
Property management lacks a reliable, non-confrontational way to document and prove smoking violations (e.g., smoke smell, time, location) that doesn't require tenants to physically photograph the smoker, especially at night.
Workarounds Described
- Tenant sending emails every time smoking occurs
- Assistant manager demanding visual proof (photo) of smoking
- Tenant calling and confronting assistant manager over phone
Implied Software Gaps
- App that allows tenants to report smoking incidents with timestamp and location without photo evidence
- Dashboard for property managers to track and enforce smoking violations systematically

SmokeSnitch is a mobile app for tenants in smoke-free communities to easily report smoking violations without confrontation. Simply open the app when you smell smoke, tap a button to record the time and location (with optional audio note), and the evidence is automatically logged and timestamped for management. No need for photos or harassment. Management gets a dashboard with violation reports sorted by unit, building, and frequency, enabling swift enforcement and legal documentation.
