3-5 years ago, IPE was a clearly approved material rated class a for fire.
Agree with jp2 the expeditor that this has evolved/downgraded/entered grey zone.
safe bet is to add 3' steel grate at perimeter.

AYKM? You predict the future with the stock market? Pass the pipe, pls. Exhibit A: July 07, market predicts smooth sailing. Exhibit B: Aug 87, market predicts smooth sailing.

Good luck with your "true leading indicators" in church.

You'll notice required rear yard is not capitalized, but alas it is a defined term at DOB. Hire professional help if the extra space is worth it to you. My understanding is that you can go deeper than 8' if you don't project into the 30' required yard.

Have your architect hire an expeditor. You will run into obstacles with a 10' deck. Not necessarily insurmountable, but 8' is the no brainer depth. Everything else will create brain damage at DOB. DIBS is correct about stairs.

good luck with that, leche.
a bit like trying to corner a market.
You're offering a bulk purchase. The only way it works is if you can effectively capture all interested buyers.
how are you going to do that? camp outside the open houses? what about private showings? place an ad?
The developer only needs 2 sales to break down your efforts.

There is an MEA Number. It's 220-01-E TIMBER HOLDINGS, LTD. Timber Holdings is the manufacturer of Iron Woods Brand Ipe and other woods. So technically only their Ipe is approved. I have heard rumors either online or by my expeditor (I can't remember) that the DOB reversed their decision on this but I can't find any documentation of such a decision. We had Ipe installed on a recent project involving a roof terrace and didn't have any objections about it from the DOB so I don't think they care about it too much.

In our MEA book it is filed under "Lumber & Plywood: Fire-retardant Treated" so I interpret that to mean it is approved for use anywhere fire treated wood is allowed. If you are using it as a deck just limit it to 20% of the roof area and you'll be safe.
