Hot Tubs on Balconies

I assume its insane to put a hot tub on a woodframe balcony even a small one.

But what about a concrete one? Would a rooftop patio be even better?

Are modern Vancouver concrete buildings built so that a 3000lb hot tub can be on a large balcony? I heard we use 3x thicker concrete due to earthquake risk so I assume concrete buildings can easily take a hot tub?

I've seen many penthouse units with hot tubs on older buildings. Most are on the rooftop deck, two had it on the balcony (it was a large balcony).

Anyway if anyone knows their structural engineering it would be great if you could tell me how this works? Can it be anywhere on the roof/balcony or does it have to be near/ontop of a structural wall? Thanks.
