Fire Code- Dryer Duct Cleaning

[eddiememphis]

My HOA passed a new rule stating homeowners are required to have their dryer vents cleaned every three years.

I was talking to the President of the board and she said they did this because of a "new law" that was passed that her friend told her about. I replied if she can't cite the law, there is going to be a lot of resistance from the homeowners.

I have been looking but can't find anything specific.

Does anyone know of any statutes about dryer vent cleaning in multi-family properties?

Who allows them in your house to check? Maybe you do for all I know. Good luck with that

I was thinking the same thing... how do they enforce that without access to the property? Demand documentation attesting to it being done?

This is the reason my next hose will be HOA free. Stupid Karen?s.

Yes. 90 days to submit proof of professional cleaning.

Itd be a fire code. Call your fire marshal office and check with them.

Ah, yes- "professional" cleaning. What a racket.

I'm sure there's some junior college offering a certificate program to be a professional dryer vent cleaner.

Print yourself a certificate of completion and blow the vent out with your leaf blower.

Tell them you don’t have a dryer.
