Does anyone what Building Code rules apply to the question of how far out from the back of one’s building one can build a deck? Can you build out further if the deck not span the entire width of the building (e.g., if only one of the two windows of the floor below is underneath the deck)? Thanks for your help.

Comments: Building a Roof Deck
Go to this file on nyc.gov
http://www.nyc.gov/html/dob/downloads/pdf/swimpools.pdf

It has info on decks, swimming pools, etc.
You’ll need an expediter. Your certificate of occupancy must allow roof occupation. You’ll need architect’s plans. Permits, of course. Argh.

When you’re ready to build, contact me for a free estimate. All of my decks are made of Ipe, which has an “A” fire rating.

Hi Steve,
I’d like to learn more about your decks and get an estimate for a deck in CH. Please contact me (your contact didn’t pop up an e-mail address). Thanks.

Steve’s popus goes to a site called http://www.urbanexteriors.biz, which doesn;t work very well in my browser. Pictures seem to work on page 2 of the site, though.
The site has his email listed as steve@urbanexteriors.biz

I’m sorry about my bad website. I’m a woodworker, not a webmaster. If you want some woodworked, give me a call.
