Building a Roof Deck
We are in the process of buying a coop with roof rights, but no deck. The access to the roof is not great — just a ladder to a hatch. Once you’re up on the roof, it’s a spectacular view, but feels like a death trap. We want to put some kind of a deck up there, but don’t want to spend a ton of money because, with the poor access, not a lot of people will want to go up there. Does anyone have ideas about a more temporary deck, and how much something like that would cost? We were thinking of decking squares. And how much would it be to put up a “real” deck — with railing.
Attorney Question
An attorney we are considering retaining to represent us in buying a coop has said that he does not review financials and that we would have to go to an accountant for that. I had expected that part of the service the attorney renders was to review the coop’s financials. Any thoughts?
