What we see in South Side buildings
In Grand Crossing we frequently encounter non-compliant duct materials (flex foil, vinyl) installed during informal remodels, often paired with disconnected or missing exterior terminations. Either condition alone is a fail under 18-28-504.
Measured Case Study
Greater Grand Crossing, 60619 — Single-family home
- Duct material
- Non-compliant (wrong material)
- Connection at termination
- Disconnected
- Exterior termination
- Missing
- Verdict
- Fail
Inspection was halted at the structural failures: the duct material was not code-compliant, the run was disconnected from the termination end, and the exterior termination cap was missing. No further measurements were taken because the system cannot pass in this state. Homeowner received a written scope of repair before recertification can be issued.
