Charred 2x4
Before we left for holidays, I tried to turn off the water in our condo and noticed that the stud which the hot water line is tied to was a bit black. It looks like the heat from the pipe has slowly burned the stud away (maybe by about a quarter inch in 15 years). Should I be concerned?
I wouldn't worry about it. If nothing's happened for 15 years, nothing more will happen for another 15 years. The stud won't disappear altogether for about 60 years, by which time your mortgage should be paid off anyway.

Be concerned. Be very concerned.
I'd have a fire extinguisher handy if I were you.
