Is It Legal To Sit On Your Roof At Night

Today while sitting on my roof with a few friends a few cops pulled up and told us all to get off the roof.

Is it legal to sit on your roof at night.

There were four of us on it and it was the roof above the porch in the front of the house. Stuff is reporting that property owners have been fined 1500 for allowing people to sit on their roof and watch car races. Are we putting ourselves through the trouble for nothing. We have two windows that lead out directly to the roof and we walk around to the back of the house where no one can see us.

Just sitting on their own roof. Also my brother and sister were sitting out there a second ago and a police car. No not unless it was designed for residential use and approved by the buildings department for residents to use. Well at night i like to turn itunes on at my computer which is right next to my window and listen to music and do whatever go in the internet on my phone draw play guitar etc and i sit on my roof while i do this.

Long and sit right in front of my window so i definitely won t fall. I m assuming for the sake of this answer the hypothetical roof sitter is not doing anything else such as using illegal drugs drinking underage threatening suicide etc. No illegal activity was being done while on it. We were all just sitting enjoying the weather and listening to music.

You can call law enforc. It s like 10 ft. The infringement notice cited a clause of the building act that refers to using or permitting the use of a building for a use for which it is not safe. The comments button is at the bottom right of this post.

For some reason i have this little roof thingy right out my window.
