Water-resistant deck coatings and Condominiums appear to go hand in hand in California. It seems that nearly every HOA complex has them, either over a living space or attached off a room. Inhabitants love them because their decks are often used as another room of the home, owners and managers of income property generally detest them because of the glitches that appear to always come along with them.
Some owners and managers pursue to minimize their exposure to these difficulties by seeking to change the CC&R's, making owners accountable for these exclusive use areas. Other Boards just put their heads in the sand, mending decks as a complaint comes in, typically with the bare minimum of work to stop the deck from seeping.

Smart managers and Boards will challenge the problem head on, looking to get their deck problems under control right away. As a former HOA manager, I saw firsthand how snubbing maintenance on waterproof decks could be very costly.
The cost of a new water-resistant coating isn't inexpensive, but the cost of mending dry-rotted framing supporting the deck is a lot worse. The Association had postponed the maintenance required by the manufacturer for several years beyond the suggested maintenance schedule, allowing the surface to vitiate to the point where water was able to enter into the framing and rot it from the inside out.
