Is It Legal To Sit On Your Roof At Night

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

Is it legal to sit on your roof at night.

Me some of my siblings and my friends sometimes go out on my roof and just hang out. Long and sit right in front of my window so i definitely won t fall. Today while sitting on my roof with a few friends a few cops pulled up and told us all to get off the roof. 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.

Are we putting ourselves through the trouble for nothing. You can call law enforc. No illegal activity was being done while on it. 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.

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. 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. All building have access to the roof because that might be the best way to evacuate a building in the event of a fire. Stuff is reporting that property owners have been fined 1500 for allowing people to sit on their roof and watch car races.

The comments button is at the bottom right of this post. It s like 10 ft. 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.

Just sitting on their own roof.
