This is a 43 unit condominium in NE with 31 garage spaces in the buidling. About 4 years ago or so the Board at that time made a rule that storage in a space could only be three feet in front of the wall and no storage on the sides of the space.
This was not in the form of a resolution, just in the minutes and no other place has it been mentioned in our documents until a recent resolution.
But my concern for this post is not the lack of notice in our documents, but a possible fire hazard.
Since the garage is an open space, in my opinion even storage 3 feet in front of the wall could be considered a fired hazard. Some owners have items stored quite high and more than three feet in front of the wall. It seems to me if a fire broke out it could spread like wildfire and cause many explosions.
The fire marshall had us remove some items in a tunnel to the Care Center which is adjacent to us. I am wondering if the fire marshall even looked in our garage.
What do you think about storage in our garage space being a fire hazard?
