Best Answer

When you want to build a deck outside your unit, best practices dictate that you consult your governing documents to determine the process required before you pick up a hammer.

The association may require plans, review of vendor credentials and materials and so forth, before you begin. Municipal permits may also be required. You may be required to insure the asset.

You must receive permission if required before you begin, in writing, with an inclusion of the approval in board meeting minutes. This covers your action.

Or, it may not be permitted by your association.

Be aware that if you choose to proceed and wait to be caught, you may be required to remove your deck if you are in violation of the association's documents or the municipal building code.
