After over 5 months of no cooking gas(due to damage by business in building), they are running new gas lines. We were told because of new codes since last installed. They are not doing it in the wall but on the exterior. Since I'm on the second floor I will have 4 pipes coming up instead of just 1. Right in the middle of my living room wall. A soffit can be built but it will look like a cold-water flat. Is this even legal? Along code? Thought only the pipe for that unit could show. Any help is appreciated.
Also wondering what is involved in applying for rent reduction from lack of gas for 5 months. Thanks.
