Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Furnishing your common house kitchen - dishes, utensils

[Sharon Villines (sharon]

What we did was install the commercial washer _after_ the kitchen was  
inspected. We put in a grease trap just in case but had no problems.

The codes and their enforcement vary widely from one city to another.  
If you call the inspector they might be alerted to the issue and  
inspect more closely.

It might be better to check the code so you can argue your case if  
necessary, put in the basics that you need, and put the money aside to  
make the changes if necessary.

Another resource is the local property managers association. Call and  
ask what other condos are required to do. More and more of them have  
dining facilities. Some one managing a large facility may know the  
local codes and practices.
