my first studio was in an apt, I just dumped my computer so i dont have pics, but heres the image: lol
turned diningroom into studio, in front of plate glass window, I could open and put a box fan to exhaust out of, the back door was to my right and could bring in propane from there and still leave it outside. I layed down laminate florring over the carpet just in case. :/ It wasnt pretty, but it was effective. MY air conditioning bills went to 400.00 a month in the summer. and im sure it was against every code in the books, however we were allowed to h ave propane bbq's on the same back porch i kept my propane on. so I rationalized. I was very careful with bleeding my hoses and I was on a hothead so no oxygen was used. and i kept two fire extiguishers near me at all times, I never ran into a problem, but it was alot of stress! worrying about any kind of mishap and people living so near. forunately my guy was a firefighter and kept me from getting complacant on anything, // is your torch unhooked, is the kiln off? is the valves shut tight, I never left my hose hooked to my torch as soon as i was done it was put back outside.
now i finally have a worshop outside the home, alot less stress! and all he has to bitch at me about is wether i have my safety glasses on or not.. Ive never seen or heard of a major catastrophy from lampworking, Ive seen some close calls however. so I would just suggest do everything in your power to make it safe. and have a great time! less stress more fun!

I torched in an apartment for 7 months or so. It wasn't good. The one good thing about it was that it made me decide to get into a house instead. If not for flameworking, I would probably still be in an apartment, procrastinating about getting a house. LOL!

MY air conditioning payments went to four hundred a month in the summer. and im certain it used to be towards each and every code in the books, then again we had been allowed to h ave propane bbq's on the identical again porch i saved my propane on https://www.nyrentownsell.com/blog/w...es-in-the-usa/. so I rationalized. I used to be very cautious with bleeding my hoses and I was once on a hothead so no oxygen used to be used. and i saved two fireplace extiguishers close to me at all times, I by no means ran into a problem, however it used to be alot of stress! stressful about any type of mishap and human beings residing so near.

Get approval from the manager first and also the insurance company. Some apts. consider a gas BBQ a liability let alone and open torch flame.
After seeing how many teensy tiny invisible glass shards go everywhere I will only torch in my separate studio made/used only for glass. Shoes by the door when I step in and glass studio shoes put on and used only in the studio.
Good luck and stay safe.
