    My first thought is that you need a new by-law that states any changes to common property must contain detailed plans, the details of the tradespeople who must be licensed and insured, and an undertaking that the current and future owners of that lot will pay for the repairs and maintenance of the installation in perpetuity.

    As far as you current issue goes, you could get the committee (if you have one) to object at council (and I’m thinking that fire safety would be an issue).  If you have no committee, you can do it yourself.

    Considering this is not for the benefit of a resident, the owner of the apartment on the third floor probably needs to rethink their priorities or come up with a detailed and compelling case.
