I recently bought a ground floor condo. When trying to install ceramic tiles, the front office girl hand me a hand written note with the specifications, including the installation of soundproofing. I went to the city, they do NOT require permit for tile installation. Sound proofing is not required on ground floors as per the SF building codes. An engineer report the tiles will become loose after a flood. Imagine a water leak from a toilet on the unit above ending up on my ground floor on that cork! The Condo Documents DO NOT specify ground floors unit need to be soundproofing. They read ALL UNITS must have soundproof installed. I heard one board proposed to vote when amending the documents because she was in a second floor and had to pay for the soundproof, that all floors need it to pay. Florida.
