Not my quote, not my house. Some attribution was removed here.
I had the vertical space between the stack and a laundry chute. *That*
would no longer be strict to code since it's a large space with no firebreak,
but the house was built in 1914 and in any case, the chimney is on the
other end of the house (and was only ever gas, not wood, and isn't even
used for the furnace since I replaced the old burner with a 90-whatever%
efficiency model with PVC exhaust).
No obvious code violations at my place. Nothing to see. Move along.
