Will the residential property be reported and punished for locking the rooftop fire escape?

Yes, the residential property has locked the rooftop fire escape, and reporting will be punished.

According to Article 28 of the Fire Protection Law, "no unit or individual may occupy, block or close evacuation passages, fire exits and fire truck passages". It is obviously illegal to lock the escape platform on the roof. If the residential property violates this regulation, the public can report it to the detachment or the fire brigade in the jurisdiction. The fire department will rectify the fire hazards according to the investigation, and the specific punishment measures may include warning, fine or ordering correction.

Therefore, if the residential property locks the rooftop fire escape, citizens can report to the relevant departments and demand timely rectification to ensure the safety of residents' lives and property.
