Are there rules regarding outdoor barbeques?
Yes, the Uniform Fire Code provides for an acceptable level of fire and life safety for the use and storage of portable barbeque equipment.

Outdoor Cooking: Charcoal burners and other open-flame cooking devices shall not be located above the first story, operated on combustible balconies or within 10 feet of combustible construction. LP-gas burners with a water capacity of greater than 2.5 pounds shall not be located above the first story, on combustible balconies or within 10 feet of combustible construction. The storage of LP gas containers with a water capacity greater than 2.5 pounds is prohibited unless it is listed for interior storage. An exception to this rule would be single and 2-family dwellings

Adult supervision is required at all times while the barbecue is generating heat.

Note: The property owners and managers have the responsibility of enforcing this code on the tenants of the residential units in question.
Complaints of violations to the Boulder City Fire Department will be addressed to the owners or agents of their complex to correct it by any means at their disposal. Failure to comply with said ordinances will result in citations being issued.
