Obviously, this is not ideal but these things always involve
a compromise and balancing of multiple variables.

There is no negotiation or compromise on code violations. This setup is
blatantly wrong.

I agree. If this violates code (and apparently it does) a
a licensed contractor absolutely needs to fix it. Of course,
the result may not be pretty if it's really difficult to run
a new vent.

If the contractor is unlicensed, all bets are off, of course.
