The owners in our association are in the beginning stages of replacing or removing all fireplaces. A series of future posts will detail why this is necessary and how the owners and association are going about doing this.
The possible change in city codes would suggest that any owner wait to see where this particular moving target goes. After all, any new installation will have to meet the code that is in place in a few months. The Building Code & Enforcement Director has stipulated that plans and drawings be provided before approval and permitting. As I see it, spending money on engineering or architectural services could be a waste of owner money at this time.
