Townhouse built in 2002, has a 2006 gas water heater(not direct vented) located in a 3x5 closet with wood louve bifold doors, sharing closet with a 3 ton air handler with air return inside closet, no combustible air other than inside townhouse. Water heater manufacturer's installation instructions, state not to locate near an air moving device, espeically devices that may create flow reversal of flue gases may increase carbon monoxide inside dwelling. One would think between building contractor, code official, HVAC contractor, plumber and gas piping contractor a red flag should have been raised.
