I got a call to go check on an architectural violation, simply means someone called and I inspect to ensure it isn’t just someone being a crabby neighbor.
People next door called it in.
This is an $850,000 home.
Homeowner and contractor will be getting a letter.
Its a gas fireplace and code says it must vent 4’ from any window or door. So I’m guessing that’s 4’ and away from the soffit and fascia. As much as I hate holes in a perfectly good roof the vent should have gone through the roof or been direct vented. I didn’t install it so I’m just guessing this was done by a local fireplace franchise. Any fireplace gets “FREE” installation.
