Well in our are just a year or so more a large build rebuilt a fishing peir and they added a bigger restsurant then he was permitted to build. Mainly they built it with a flat roof wich was OK but they also made it a deck which was the issue. The homeowners across the street complained and the city made him tear off the railings and would not aloow it to be used as a deck. This builder has alot of pull in the city but he built this thing just a bit to high an lost in court. My point is that the law is the law and when it goes to court having pull does no good if its against code.
