Please be aware that an inspection of your deck was recently completed by Engineering Alliance. The
purpose of this inspection was to identify any potential problems and safety issues. It was found that
some decks have significant rot while others have minor issues.
Atttached you will find your deck"report card". Engineering Alliance will be present at the Annual
Meeting to discuss their report and answer any questions in regards to you deck"report card". The
following re-occuring deficiences were noted throughout the majority of the decks on the"report cards":
• Many decks were constructed with either double or triple 2x6 rim joists spanning 10-11 ft. This
is structurally inadequate. A 2x6 or series of 2x6 joists cannot support required live loads
required by the building code with this span. Decks that were constructed in this fashion should
be either re-constructed with a minium of a double 2x8 rim joist(preferably a double 2x10) or
have an intermediate column and foundation installed to properly support the deck.
• Most of the deck rails span 10-11 ft without an intermediate rail post. These decks are structually
in-adequate as the rails are incapable of supporting required live load associated with a person
leaning or falling into the rail. Deck rails should not span more than 5-6 ft without a 4x4
minimum rail post connected to the deck framing.
• Most deck foundations do not appear to have a 4 ft of frost protection. Additionally, many
foundations are cracked or spawling. Also,many of the 4x4 columns providing deck support are
imbedded into the concrete,causing the ends of the columns to deteriorate(wrought). It is
recommended that all 4x4 columns be anchored to the foundation with a proper connection.
• Many of the balusters exceed the 4 inch minimum on-center spacing.
• Many decks are in need of protection i.e. paint, sealer, etc.
• Many of the decks contain wood(both decking and/or framing)that has reached the end of its
useful life.
Your deck"report card"was rated as follows:
EXCELLENT:This rating was given to decks that were recently re-constructed, are in great condition
and were found to be structurally adequate. This rating requires NO action on the part
of the homeowner(unless there is an asterisk).
GOOD: This rating was given to decks that are showing age,but are well maintained and in
reasonable condition. These decks were found to be structurally adequate. This rating
requires NO action on the part of the homeowner(unless there is an asterisk).

FAIR: This rating was given to decks that are showing signs of extreme wear,but appear to be
structurally adequate. This rating requires no action on the part of the homeowner at
this time unless there is an asterisk,but will need to be re-evaluated for possible
replacement in 2-3 years and each homeowner should consider full replacement as
soon as possible.
POOR: This rating was given to decks that are failing or the frame is stucturally in-adequate and
is in need of IMMEDIATE repairs. This rating requires the outlined repairs to be
completed by June 1.2016.
POOR/
CONDEMED: This rating was given to decks that are failing or the frame is stucturally in-adequate and
is in need of LVIMEDIATE replacement. This rating requires replacement of your
deck by DECEMBER 1.2015.Effective IMMEDIATELY owners are NOT to use
their deck.
*ASTERISK. An asterisk is placed next to the rating of decks that the frame and decking may meet a
rating criteria other than POOR, but the deck rail span is too long and the rail is in need
of an intermediate support. Although these decks may be in good condition, these decks
are considered to be structurally in-adequate due to the fact that the rail system is not
capable of supporting the live load required by code. This rating requires the necessary
repairs to be completed by April 1, 2017.
Please return the attached form to American Properties Team when the noted repairs to your deck have
been completed so that our records can be updated accordingly. In the event you would like the name of
some qualified contractors and/or deck specifications/plans, please feel free to contact American
Properties Team or refer to the on line services.
All owners should note that the Board of Trustees has the authority to request and implement needed
maintenance at a unit should they feel as though there is a hazardous situation which could adversely
affect other owners and the association.
As always, we appreciate your cooperation.
