glass roof for screened deck?

Has anyone looked into the possibility of screening a deck against insects by installing a glass roof and screens? Apparently the DOB says a deck cannot have a roof, so what would be the administrative hurdles?

I may have inadvertently added confusion. If the roof is temporary then the deck it is not a considered a room once that is removed. I was referring to the roof covering as “temporary” not the entire structure. You should talk to an architect and see if the room can be filed and added.

For a better understanding of Temporary Structures, not to be confused with Temporary Construction, refer to NYC Building Code Section 3103.

I second Steve, if it can be removed easily it is not considered a room as it’s temporary.

can you make it temporary and detachable? they complain, you take it down until next year? take it down in the winter?

if it has a roof it’s considered another room, which may or may not be permitted based on the FAR in use on the lot already. plus it would be treated as a room for code compliance so would need things like outlets, etc I think. what if you had a retractable awning that screen fabric could be attached to?
