What is the minimum allowed distance between the exhaust port and a window that opens in a residental application?

I'm purchasing a home and this furnace exhausts to the rear through PVC at 24 inches next to bedroom window. The window is a double hung and the port is at the middle of the window.

Thank you...Kenny

Only a foot from a window in NY

If it ain't broke don't fix it!

3 feet where I am unless the window is permanently sealed. You may be able to have a tech add some pipe/gooseneck it away if it fogs up the window. Would need to be insulated and may be ugly.
