ipe roof deck?

Anybody built a wood roof deck on a brownstone? I understand that NYC buildings/fire code doesn’t let you build on more than 20% of the roof area with combustible material.

But I also hear that ipe wood is “Class A” fire-rated and isn’t considered combustible material. Could I build an ipe deck over most of the roof?
