Default Re: Roof Top Deck Load

The local city inspector visited this property and declared the deck "safe", no concern regarding the roof load. Amazing!!

I wonder if these kinds of problems are sometimes created by inadequate city budgets.
If case loads are too heavy, inspectors simply don't have time to insepct everything thoroughly and the city doesn't have the money to hire more inspectors, some work won't be inspected very well.
