Tank storage for high-rise dwellers

[2airishuman]

Some possible life changes coming up due to kids graduating from high school. We may sell our house and get two modest condos or townhouses so we can split our time between Minnesota and Florida.

We are looking at high-rise condos at least on the Minnesota end for reasons of overall cost, amenities, and more reliable ability to leave unattended for a winter without surprises the following spring.

What to do with the dive cylinders I'm planning to keep in Minnesota? Do apartment/condo managers, in practice, go all hazmat and insist they be removed from the property? What about the storage lockers run by places like UHaul and Public Storage?

I have 20+ cylinders but some of them would go to Florida.

I have tons of them in the garage at my apartment complex. I've never seen or heard of anyone having an issue with them.

read the HOA rules. if it's not against the rules, don't say anything?

you can also check what the OSHA requirements are for high pressure gas cylinder storage, to help you plan how/where to store them.

OSHA not applicable for this

...We are looking at high-rise condos ....

I think you will need to get off the elevator every 3 floors for 3 minutes and decompress. And if another person also hits the 'Penthouse" button, you need to scream at them " Are you trying to kill me?? ? "

I have a small 1BR condo. My tanks (4 singles, 2 sets of doubles, 2 AL40s) live in various places in my living room during the winter. Just stick them wherever you can. None of my neighbors has ever said anything about them.

That's what I've done.

Thanks for the replies.

Hi @2airishuman
Where are you looking in Florida?

We're minimum 1-2 years out. Upper Keys ideally, financial realities may push us to the Sarasota area.
