Who's responsible for the falling snow on the roof?

Legal analysis: the property should be responsible. Property should be liable for compensation. However, the property said that it is only responsible for the maintenance of public facilities in the community. At the same time, the property has fulfilled the corresponding obligation to inform. In order to avoid similar incidents, the property management company has posted notices on the gable of each building in advance to remind residents not to park their cars by the wall. Therefore, property companies should not be responsible for such incidents. As a manager in the legal sense, the property should bear certain legal responsibilities for the damage caused by the natural fall of the hanging objects on the public facilities in the community. The prompt behavior of property is its due management obligation, but it cannot be exempted from its civil liability. As the manager of the roof of the residential area, the most fundamental legal obligation of the property is to remove the ice and snow hanging on the roof in time to avoid damage. Not just notice it. Therefore, the property should bear civil liability. Of course, if the property can prove that there is no fault in cleaning the ice and snow on the roof, it will not bear legal responsibility.
