House built 2002 with attached 2 car garage that has a utility closet built to house gas furnace and water heater. Walls have taped drywall and access is through double steel doors. One door has a closer, the other side doesn't. Threshold and jambs have typical seals for a smoke-heat rated door. No ventilation grills in doors, no fresh air inlet from outside of garage observed. No return or registers in garage. Nothing penetrating closet wall except door.

The furnace sits up on part of air handler that puts the burners and motors more than 18" above floor. However, A State standard 50 Gal tank gas water heater sits on concrete floor, pilot light and all.

Sorry, no pictures of doors because occupant's stuff was piled all over garage. The realtor moved some stuff just so I could get to the door.

Opinions on installation. I haven't called it a deficiency yet. But I'm not comfortable with the installation. Feels kinda like one big "Gray Area"
