We bought our 1br coop brownstone apt under the understanding that we had a working fireplace. We did not have it inspected, nor have we used it. After a bird got stuck in the chimney last week we learned that we need a damper, some firebrick and some other small work to make it compliant. They recomened just bricking the chimney off since we do not use it. Even thought we do not use it I think there is value on the resale, is there?
