Cooktop venting question

[WItoTX]

HOA wishes and desires do not override building guidelines and local building codes.

Period

OP, this is the route I would go. Check the local codes, and talk with someone within the indiustry. There has to be a way to word it such that it's required per code.

We have an HOA too. We actually got one of the members of the board booted because he was driving around folks property, walking onto folks property, flying drones over peoples homes, all to report them for violations. Sounds like you got that level of ******** on your board as well.
