My question is, is it a violation of any kind of code to put a dryer vent
that vents to the front of my house? I have a spot I can put it
inconspicuously and then a little paint would blend it right in. My house
has a dryer "stack" that runs through the roof and I suspect that it is
clogged and probably not the best way to vent in the first place. Any help
is appreciated. Thanks.

As for safety, it makes no difference whether the vent is on the front,
back, or side of the house. There may be some asthetic issues, however.
One thing to keep in mind -- the hot exhaust may not be good for
vegetation around the vent.
