      The roof of our large apartment complex is covered in large stones.  Over several years, birds attracted to the stones have regularly dropped them over the side of the roof and the stones have caused damage to parked cars, furniture, and chipped glass door and window panels.

      However, of more concern is the serious injury or death the stones could cause if they hit someone whilst on their balcony.  In response to questions about solving this problem, our Executive Committee has replied by saying they have investigated solutions to preventing the birds from landing on the roof, but as the stones are an accepted building method and since they are covered by insurance, it has been decided the cost of a remedy is too high and no further action will be taken.  This is despite the risk to the safety of owners when using their balconies (those that extend beyond the roof line).

      Have other forum members come across this problem and found a solution?  As a safety issue, I would have thought that Executive Committee is obliged to take reasonable precautions to provide a safe living environment?
