Hello Internachi members.
I have a question about dryer vents going through a wall and terminating in the utility room next door.
Is that legal?
I’ll try to upload the picture.

Well, I cannot upload a picture. But just imagine the dryer vent terminating in the next room.

No can do. The dryer vent must terminate at the Exterior of the building.

Thank you Gentlemen, well I finally am able to upload it from my laptop.
Smartphone could not upload picture.
Here it is.
I was asked to inspect a brand new Head Start building and found this. I have not started my report yet because I wanted to do more research. I will continue to follow up on it, thank you.

That does not look like a dryer duct to me. It looks more like a combustion air duct.

A six inch duct would be to large for a dryer vent. Like Barry said, there are other issues I hope you caught in your picture.
