Is it safe to have the washer and an electric dryer in a basement room with an oil tank, oil burner for water baseboards and water heater?

Unless you have a written local amendment disallowing it there is no reason this would be unsafe or prohibited. I have seen and worked on many, many basements that fit this exact description.

My only concern would be keeping the area clear of lint from the dryer.

  • Thanks. Is venting outside the house and periodical cleaning not enough? What other things can be placed in the room to make it clear of lint and prevent fire?

    Yes, that should be fine. Make sure the venting system (ducts, hoses, flapper, etc) are all in good shape and sealed and connected well.
