That happened to a friend of mine.
The wooden deck is considered a structure and has to follow the same rules as any addition to the home.
They put a flagstone patio in the same place and that was okay.
Nuts !!!!!!!!!!!

My neighbor thought it was some sort of permit issue. As I said, the patio was ground level and appeared to be well constructed. It did not have a roof. Maybe the owner did not know they needed a permit for such a thing, but forcing them to tear it down seemed like governmental bullying. Ok, make them pay for the permit after the fact, maybe issue a small penalty, but make them tear it down?
