Also, any structural work requires a building permit. Any structural work in a condo should not be remotely considered without a structural engineer’s stamp, AND full authorization in writing from the condo (who should have reviewed very specific and detailed plans).

Thanks so much for your input. Do you think a permit is required even if I am only cutting into just the drywall? My other option is to simply cut between the studs and create smaller holes.
This way I am impacting only impacting drywall and doing nothing to the wood studs. Unless drywall is also considered structural?
I also plan on getting this work done by a licensed professional.
