This is a real problem. I serve on the Board of my HOA. We had similar problems, but not as severe as Miami, on our beach front property. The initial estimates were excess of $1 in repairs. Most of the visible damage didn't look extreme so the Owners went skeptical. We convinced an Owner to let us use their unit as a test. Tore up the balcony tile, removed the railings & opened up the area where the building fascia meets the balcony deck. Once the tile was removed, it showed the water proofed concrete deck was pretty much shot. Trapped water had rusted the supporting rebar & leaked back into & under the fascia. Made this presentation to the HOA. Scared the hell out of them. The assessment was approved & the repairs were completed. Big lesson here. NEVER put tile over a water proof deck. It's balcony cancer.
