Looks like there was a fire at one time or maybe a leaky chimney, we see boards that look like that all the time.

What's interesting is it is drippy looking like thick paint. I was looking around the internet some more and saw something about using an asphalt type pain for waterproofing (can't remember what it is now), but it looks a lot like that. the picture isn't showing the drips that well. I can scrape it off and it is kind of shiny? Has to be pretty old whatever it is. I'm thinking it must not be anything too bad or they wouldn't have roofed over it a few years back before I moved here ... i hope :sad:

Thanks for that ... I'll look that up and see if i can find any pics using that on sheathing.
Re: Black “what is it” on skip sheathing
Whatever it is I wouldn't worry about it. Looks like someone just put it up there to support something.
That pipe though is cause for concern, it appears to be just dumping into that vent. There should be a collar attached to the vent that at least goes into the pipe.
It's best to tape it as well.

That pipe was abandoned, was supposed to be kitchen exhaust but they put one on the other side. It does need to come out
