Balcony Repairing Cost?
Hey everyone, I'm looking at a 4 unit rental property at the moment. I had an inspection done, and the inspector told me that the staircase/balcony structure in the back needs to be fixed on more securely. It has support posts, but the structure is only bolted on to the brick of the building, whereas, a good long term solution would be to drill through the brick, hit a stud, and attach the structure to the stud. It doesn't look precarious, but keeping the structure attached only to the brick is not a good idea for the long term. Does anyone have a ballpark on how much this may cost to fix?
