Chimney Inspection Waiver

Request for Waiver of Fireplace and Chimney Inspection

Condo fires are one of the most serious safety and financial threats to our community. Many of our condo units share attic space with other units. When one catches fire it’s likely to spread to other units.

Hidden Lake Bylaws (Section 18: Hazardous Equipment and Activities) require that:

“Fireplaces must be maintained and operated in a safe condition. From time to time, the Association may require proof that fireplaces have been cleaned, inspected and repaired as necessary.”

Each condo owner, at the owner’s expense, must have his or her fireplace and chimney cleaned and inspected by a certified chimney sweet and must provide the inspection report to the management company. To enforce the fireplace inspection rule, the Association may inspect Hidden Lake units to verify compliance.

If you wish to certify that the chimney and fireplace are never used complete the form below.

The deadline to return either your inspection report or waiver is NOVEMBER 15 each year. Owners who have not provided proof of inspection or the waiver form will be charged an enforcement assessment of $50 per month beginning in December.
