Code says that if you have an exposed area over top of a non exposed area (living area) then you need what's called vapor barrier. So we rip up the top deck to fix the leaking in the unit bellows roof and low and behold there is no vapor barrier... but the city signed off that this passes code. We discover this 2 years after the conversion so it's our problem. Infuriating.
