I live in a condo in an 8 unit building. There are 2 units in each section. I am on The first floor with another condo above me.

My dryer vent is blocked. The condo association says it is blocked in my laundry room and I am responsible for clearing it. It is now hooked up in a different way.

My dryer hose goes from my dryer, over my hot water tank, and is attached to an air pipe in my ceiling. I don't like it. Am I responsible?
