Hi Everyone,
We are looking at a condo that has the boiler and water heater inside the apartment located in a “Mechanical Closet”
How safe is this?
Am sorta old school where you had your boiler and water heater in the basement, but more and more with new condo developments am finding you have your own heating units inside your apartment? I know they are behind fire protected doors, but wondering if something goes wrong how safe is it to be living literally right next to the “boiler room”
Thoughts?
