Is it reasonable to lock the top floor of the property?

Legal analysis: the property has no right to lock the roof, because locking the roof violates the relevant fire regulations. However, if the roof is not locked, there may be problems such as disorderly construction, private occupation by the owners and potential safety hazards. In real life, in order to solve this contradiction, many communities have installed electronic doors on the roof, which are usually locked and security guards patrol regularly. In case of fire, earthquake and other emergencies, the centralized control room in the community can immediately open the electronic door through remote operation, so that the owner can escape, which not only solves practical difficulties such as safety and hygiene, but also plays the role of fire escape channel on the roof. There are also some communities that arrange clothes drying on the roof to solve the practical problems of the owners, and leave 24-hour duty telephone numbers and emergency contact numbers for property management. It can also be understood by most owners.
