TOB - Is this style step considered a deck? (Oyster Bay: law, guidelines)

[wcny]

Im looking to add this in place of an non-permitted deck.
Is this still considered a deck in the eyes of Town of Oyster Bay?


EDIT : I am referring to the steps by the sliding doors.

Based on this photo, it looks like a patio to me, not a deck...

I think he means the part by the sliding glass doors.

Yes, I apologize for not being clear.

I believe NYS law allows for a stoup of 50 square feet. That looks like more than that. Otherwise is see no issues.

Looks like a stair landing to me.

I would consider this a deck. There are code requirements for load bearing, fasteners, attachment to dwelling and/or being self-supporting, etc.

Why don’t u just ask the town instead of take someone’s advise, anyway u might need a permit if it is over night

Yes, find out from the town.
I believe in Town of Smithtown, you can't go beyond 30" on each side of the door. Other towns may have similar guidelines.

this actually looks pretty nice have you inquired the town?
