This was a home that I inspected Saturday.
The (now unused) flue for the basement furnace was open through to the flue for the wood fireplace. The furnace flue was lined with a class B vent and was sealed off at the basement but open at the top of the chimney.
I listed it as a safety hazard that a certified chimney sweep evaluate and give direction to the required repair. Realtor was present and did not see how it would be a safety hazard. (I know, I know)
I do feel that it is a safety hazard, but would like to hear others feedback (especially from Bob)
Sorry about the dark picture.
