Grilles Above the Sukkah

Question

My upstairs neighbor installed wide grilles above the area of my sukkah. Is it permissible to eat and sleep under them?

Answer

According to the basic law, it is permissible to eat or sleep under the grilles. However, there is room for stringency to place a bit of schach on the grille to make the area fit according to all opinions.
