Question:
Greetings,
Can an unused brick chimney be used as a chase way? The chimney is being used to run multiple NM cables from the basement of a house into the attic.

Answer:
Hi Doug,
Based on this information in your question the response would be no. A chimney is exposed to the weather making it a wet location. NM cables are restricted to dry locations in accordance with 334.10(A).
