Thanks for your responses. To answer your questions, the surface of the extension is a roof/deck that is at the back exit door of my unit and my next door neighbour’s . We both can walk out directly on top of this structure to go outside to the back yard. The owner says this area was built for the purpose of a passage way not to use for any other purpose and says it is not build for weight of a balcony.
My concerns that we dont know if it is safe to walk on, or to use as a balcony or what it is made off. So as it is common property we are at risk if anything does happen. Additionally the surface has a lot of movement and the railings are lose and anyone could lean over and it could give. I also want to know how much weight it can actually take because I walk on it every day to access the backyard and washing lines and want to know if it can be used as a balcony if safe to do so.
Lastly the owner is a lawyer and each time I raise the issue about finding out whatthe structure is made of I am shut down.
I have suggested that I would like to have exclusive use but that seems not suitable to two unit owners at this stage, so not sure if I can do any thing else on that. We have 5 units and I am assuming I need 4 votes to approve this.
I will do another strata search to see if it is registered, thanks for that suggestion.
Any other suggestions?
