Issue with the decks




While checking out the work on the facade I happened to look at the columns supporting the deck. the columns were twisted at the tops were the columns meet the decks on the 2 decks being worked on. I noticed that there is only 1 or maybe 2 nails that were used to attach the columns to the deck. The proper method (or building code) is to use carriage bolts to fasten the columns which also prevents them from twisting. I pointed this out to our condo board president. He mentioned that he will have it checked out.
