I live on the first floor. Can I change the direction of the main entrance?

When I arrived at the house I just bought, I found that the entrance door was actually facing the bathroom. People told me that the feng shui was not good, so I demolished the balcony and changed it into an entrance door. I didn't expect to be complained by my neighbors upstairs just after it was completed, saying that my house was illegal. But my family lives on the first floor, even if the balcony is demolished, it will not affect the upstairs residents. Can't you change this? I guess I'm just jealous of my family.

Later, I learned from the property that it is really impossible for my family to change like this, so let me return to the original state as soon as possible. Forget about tearing down the balcony. It's just that the entrance door can't be changed casually The entrance doors of some houses are load-bearing walls, and it is not allowed to build them privately. Therefore, it must be approved by the property, and it can be changed without affecting the main structure of the house.

In addition, the balcony cannot be removed without permission, and this behavior of changing the appearance of the community is not allowed. Even if it does not threaten the safety of the main floor, the appearance of the owner's own house must be consistent with the appearance of all buildings as a whole. If you want to change it, you must first make a wallpaper and show it to the management office and the property, and then carry out the construction after approval, which also saves the trouble in the later stage.

If the balcony is changed into an entrance door, it is necessary to change the balcony structure, which has to consider whether there are beams above and below the balcony window and whether it is a concrete structure. If so, it is suggested that it cannot be forcibly removed, which is related to the bearing problem of the balcony of the upstairs residents. Although there is not much problem in structural strength, it will weaken the seismic strength of the whole floor. It is illegal under normal circumstances. If settlement or wall cracking occurs, the consequences are unimaginable.

In addition, there will be corresponding load-bearing cubes above every window in the home, some of which are cement columns and some are wood. No matter what material, it also plays a connecting role. If it is forcibly removed, it is necessary to increase the supporting force at other positions.

Because of the requirements of the property, my family finally restored the balcony to its original state, so if there is no consultation with the property in advance, try not to change the balcony at home, even at the bottom.
