Is the wood pressure treated? If so, you need to wait for it to dry fully. Usually about a month or so. You'll know if it is still too wet by putting some water on it and seeing if it beads up. If it does, it is still wet. Once it soaks in you should be good go.
Do you guys really not stain or seal your deck? Just raw lumber? That looks terrible IMO and I'm surprised your HOAs allow that.
