Welcome to the forum. Although you can post in any forum, the USA forum is here in case of local regs or laws
looks like there used to be a BF boiler at some time, Proberly find that window never had a opening on that side and new DG windows fitted and the flue has been overlooked typical of DG company's But you need to get this fire problem sorted if its pulling in smoke
Thanks. Chimney may have been swept but without correct ventilation you’re never gonna get the pull
Little update, which has left me even more confused!
So having messaged the leggings conpany, who were not helpful at all “it wouldn’t have been signed off if it wasn’t safe” So I insisted on a second opinion from a different engineer, as it’s nowhere near the 600mm distance. So she finally agreed to send out an engineer (the same one)
Later that day I get an email saying it’s coming platelet safe to use, but he’s unplugged it anyway and that it’s up to us if we turn it on. And could she please have he contact information of the engineer who told me to raise the issue with them (also registered) Gwt home to find stickers over the boiler saying it’s unsafe to use and a form saying it’s been ‘ID’.....

The letting agent is skating on thin ice. If you have their gas cert I’d check the credentials of their engineer
You don't need to give the Agent anyones details now.
Next thing is to contact the Agent and thank them for sorting the situation out 😳 but can they now say when the boiler will be sorted out so you can have the heating you are paying for.
And will they also be looking into the Fire situation as well.
p.s take some photos of the boiler with stickers on and keep them.

I’ve not turned it back on, and won’t. It’s just frustrating as I’ve been suffering headaches since moving in. Wheather they’re connected or not, no idea. Just seems like everyone’s trying to cover their bum, and all I’m asking for is a safe property to live in
Trust me mate if someone has signed it all off as safe they will be twitching at the moment they were probably lucky that they had the chance to come back and reassess their opinion. Dare I say get a carbon monoxide alarm for when all is sorted. LL should have provided one for the fire at least
Also I would now enlist Gas Safe before anything is rectified otherwise things can be covered up
You ca not ID a gas appliance and say to the customer. “ you can turn it on if you want “ , it gets cut off !! end of !!
To be fair. If it is me doing the repair I normally don’t get chance to cap. But had to cap this the other day before I ripped it out.
