No one in your HOA knows whether the condo fireplaces are working or not? Open the flew, and light a long kitchen match. If the match flame and smoke are drawn upward, then your fireplace works.

It will set off your smoke alarm, but, place some paper in the fireplace, set it on fire, if the chimney is open it will draw the smoke and flame up and out, if it is closed the smoke will come back out of the fire place and into the room
