wooden deck which sits on my roof.Both were added 18yr

ago on a handshake between the parties who owned at that time, now deceased.Nothing recorded in condo docs. My roof is leaking, had to remove ceiling, sheet

rock,insulation.2nd fl.owner refuses to remove deck unless I sign agreement she can put deck back on roof.

Roofers will not warranty if deck goes back,hired structural engineer he states roof not stong enough to support deck. 2nd fl.owner won't consider freestanding deck.I have been held hostage since 10/01

1 How do I get my roof repaired,don't I have the right to protect my property even though it'a condo?

2 Do I have to have a deck on my roof,if so would I be financely responsible to reinforce my roof?

3 Deck has about 1500lbs.of weight on it, plants (etc)
