Here's the dryer. The only HVAC return for the condo is in the ceiling above the dryer. Believe it or not, the seller claims that the city gave them a variance to have the dryers vent like this. The buyer is currently trying to get someone to sign their name to a piece of paper that says as much.
The variance was for historical reasons, they say, which makes sense because because it is an old building, but my obvious remedy is: put in a condensing dryer for crying out loud!
