Our condo board has said that our bylaws do not permit any kind of childproofing on the terrace itself as we are not “allowed” to interfer with its appearance. We had suggested plexiglass but they have said no. We have french doors that open onto the terrace, and do not believe, even if locked, that these are sufficient. Is there anything we can do? I know that the window guard laws do not specifically address this, and I want to force the condo into coming up with a better solution.
You should not be able to pass a 4” object like a ball or child’s head through any part of the railing. Also the fence must be a certain height. You could call the Dept. of buildings and ask them what is the code.
Maybe you could get a lawyer to point out that “interfering” with the terrace is preferable to a massive lawsuit.
Is it for the gap between the steel rails and the walls. Ihandled that issue with wood and u bolts for a client. If it is an issue of the French doors when my kids were babies i remember seeing covers for the doorknobs that you had to squeeze to turn. they also make other safety devices to safeguard doors.
