Is it illegal to close the top terrace?

Legal analysis: 1. There is no uniform regulation on whether balcony closure is illegal, but it is certain that it is illegal to change the appearance or function of a building without permission.

2. If the balcony must be sealed, it must be approved by the relevant property department, because the reason for not sealing the balcony is to consider the beauty and safety of the balcony.

3. Another point is to look at the right to use the terrace, mainly depending on whether the terrace is owned by the owner. If it is owned by the owner, it is illegal to build a terrace. If it is privately owned, you can check whether there are any clauses prohibiting construction according to the provisions of relevant treaties. If it is privately owned and there are no relevant laws and regulations prohibiting construction, it is not illegal to build a terrace, but the premise is to ensure that it will not affect it.

Legal basis: Article 3 of the Land Administration Law of the People's Republic of China cherishes and rationally uses land and effectively protects cultivated land, which is our basic national policy. People's governments at all levels shall take measures to comprehensively plan, strictly manage, protect and develop land resources and stop illegal occupation of land.
