This is inaccurate-

- charcoal - no roofs or balconies, but terraces and backyards are okay. You do need 10 feet of clearance from walls and fences, but this is less rare than you might think. I’ve lived in two places that met this criteria and have a few friends that did as well

- propane - illegal in most circumstances except with a very small propane tank

- natural gas - legal in all circumstances as long as installed by a city licensed installer.

It’s true that it’s not as common as it is in the suburbs, but essentially every building built in the last 20 years or major renovations ends up including one or more grills.
