Rooftop Deck
If I'm getting an expediter to file a deck proposal with the DOB, do I need the design to be signed off on by an architect? Does the Expediter do this? I have an auto-cad design that was originally done by an architect who is no longer available, and we need to make some very simple alterations to the plan. I'm wondering if I can just have a non-architect make the changes and then have an expediter sign off on them. Anyone have any advice?

Ipe Deck seal
We had a deck installed last week. They coated it with Anchorseal
http://www.uccoatings.com/Home/Products/ANCHORSEAL
(I just found that out today).
It still hasnt dried and it also rained in the last two days and the Anchorseal has gone this white color.
Upon researching Anchorseal Ive realized that it should never have been used in the first place.
My question is when the contractor comes back tomorrow, what are my options?
Did they ruin the wood and do we have to rip it up.
Can it be cleaned off
Can it be sanded off.
Right now it has the same consistency as if they just painted Vaseline on it?
Any insight would be appreciated.
