Try getting bridge sidewalks clean in Pittsburgh. It's the same thing. PennDOT or county (whoever owns the bridge) says it's local, and vice versa.

we got 0.6" of rain yesterday so a lot of pgh basements are like that today. best fix is an inside trench and a sump pump.

make sure to check the "I need official city parking chair" and write the correct # in the box next to it. it's 1 chair per 5 feet. round up to the higher #.

you can just throw all the building material out in the back and hope that entropy makes it into a deck.

You mean like a Construction Junction but also with electronics?

With what you're doing it sounds like it's a big job, probably some people are building new decks that size. The new section needs supports and the stairs and landing add to the cost.

Plus skilled labor and building supplies are expensive these days.

I'm not sure if I can tell you if it's reasonable or not since I don't have expertise in that and I haven't shopped around for something similar, but if you get quotes all around the same price it seems that's the going price. For something like a deck (or anything on your house) I wouldn't necessarily take the cheapest bid of you think someone else who is a bit more money will do the job in a timely fashion and do it well. In my book it's always worth paying a bit more for well done than trying to fix poorly done stuff.

I'm wondering if OP had an unofficial grace period- ie due by the first but "just get it to me by the 5th and it'll be ok" but the new mgmt company is going strictly by the lease?
