§ 4706 Religious Items On Entry Doors

Key Takeaways

  • •You can put religious items on your front door or door frame, and no one can stop you.
  • •If your building is fixing or replacing your door, you might have to take down the religious item for a little while.
  • •After the work is done, you can put the religious item back up.
  • •The building must tell you ahead of time if you need to remove it temporarily.

Example

You hang a small cross on your apartment door.

Your building can't tell you to take it down. But if they're painting or fixing the door, they can ask you to remove it for a short time. Once they're done, you can put it back up, and they have to let you know before they start the work.
