LOCAL RESEARCH / Delaney Park
Local context
The U.S. Fire Administration's heating fire safety guidance is to maintain heating equipment and chimneys by having them cleaned and inspected each year by a professional. That is a national prevention recommendation about maintenance intervals, not a local code requirement and not a finding about a particular flue. Ask what an inspection would actually cover, what would be documented, and what a report would say about the condition found.
