Wood Floor under Water Heater?


Is it a code violation, or a fire hazard, to have hardwood flooring underneath the boiler? I’m installing wood floors and have reached the water heater. I don’t know if I should continue underneath it (and the metal stand it rests on) or stop at the edge. Thanks.

Gifting an Apartment?


I want to buy my father-in-law an apartment (cash purchase, no mortgage). How do I do this? Can I put it in his name without him incurring taxes? I know I will eventually have to consult an accountant, but I was hoping to get some basic info first so I can be better informed. Thanks for any help at all–I greatly appreciate it.
