    It’s almost certain that the deck is Common Property that, in the absence of a past special resolution by the Owners Corporation (O/C) at a General Meeting to either absolve itself of maintenance responsibility for the area or to register a Special By-Law making the owner/s from time-to-time of your Lot responsible for that maintenance, is the O/C’s responsibility and the items that you’ve mentioned in your post should be immediately referred to the Secretary of your Executive Committee and/or your Strata Manager for investigation and maintenance/repairs.

    The only grey area would be the stenciling, IF it’s not an original feature that was done at the time of the building’s construction; that is done post occupation by you or by a previous owner of your Lot in which case you could be held responsible for that component (only) of the necessary maintenance.

    So put all the issues in writing as suggested, and by all means come back to FlatChat if any complications arise.
