Raising ceiling height revisitedOct 24, 2009


There was a to and fro about this before, but it was more about the legal and code issues of a shareholder raising the height of their ceiling. We have a shareholder who is on parlor floor that has 100" ceiling height. He just found while fixing a leak, that his unit has what appears to be a dropped ceiling and that there is an actual higher one that is is parlor floor height of 3 feet higher. He wants to raise the ceiling now of his unit. Is this feasible for him to undertake even with Board permission? Won't he get more noise from unit above?Anyone have any experience in this? Thanks.
