Permit for Roof Deck
We are looking to install this type of roof deck:

it is basically a kit you assemble and it just rests on the roof. is it still necessary to file for a permit?

Someone in our condo building is trying to split their duplex unit into two and sublet it out to 2 different people. Is this legal?

i hate the way you post pictures. it makes me not even look at them. why can't they be rollovers like every other website? or at least some way so the page doesn't reload!!!

nothing gets drilled into the roof or joists.

not sure. i think they may have installed a second kitchen in the basement level of the unit, which in itself is a code violation.
I also looked at our bylaws and it says one family per unit and no splitting up units, so that pretty much seals the deal, right?

I went to A & K yesterday and received such all-time horrible service that I had to post it somewhere.
Apparently, I came at the wrong time beacause both employees were sitting down to lunch and were otherwise occuppied. They sat behind their desks and answered some of my questions while chewing. At one point, I asked, "Does this tile come in different sizes or finishes?" and the woman said, "I don't know which one you're talking about." WHILE SITTING AT HER DESK CHEWING.
At that point, I began asking for the makers of the tile samples so that I could figure out the answers to my questions on my own. Frustrated, I decided to leave.
As I was leaving the store, the male employee says to the woman, "She was asking for the manufacturers so that she could go out and buy it somewhere else. Can you believe people do that?" The woman replied, "Yeah, I know what she was doing." I'm still in shock that a business could operate this way.

you people would rather yell at each other and sound smart than actually get something done.
i just contacted Letitia James and she said she will get an officer posted on that block. we also discussed getting brigher or more street lights installed, especially around the ex carlton mews co housing site. democracy in action!
