Hi,

Thank you for your question.
The placement of open flame grills codes apply only to condos and apartments.
There is no enforceable fire code for single family dwellings; however, there may be a restriction in your HOA rules and regulations.
Manufactures recommendations and best practice is to operate open flame grills at least 10 feet from structures; however, this is not enforceable through the Florida Fire Prevention Code, Seventh Edition.

Best Regards,

Thanks for the research but I wonder if this applies to putting a grill on your neighbors wall.

The situation has been resolved in a peaceful matter but I will have to keep an eye on new renters moving back to my wall.

I need to find out who actually owns the house.
