Hello Fellow Board Members,
Our Board is interested in decorating the 7 hallways/3 floors of our 20-unit condo. (Legally, there are seven 3-family units.) Are there any fire code prohibitions against hanging posters or textiles in the common area hallways? We want to get away from the public housing look and were considering large posters or even textiles. Thanks in advance for your responses.

JES, you definitely have to check with your local Fire Marshall as to certain do's and dont's since district rules can vary. Rule of thumb, however, is that nothing can impede an escape if necessary. Pictures are usually nailed to walls so they can't fall off and hit someone, decorations are out of the way. Textiles (assuming wall paper types?) are pretty much a safe bet. Wall mouldings (chair rails, crowns, etc.) are a wonderful, elegant and not too costly look. Have fun.
