Is it illegal to plant flowers on the balcony of the community?

It is illegal to plant flowers on public balconies in residential areas.

According to the provisions of the Property Law and the Property Management Regulations, the green space, roof and public roads in residential areas should be owned by all owners. It is illegal for individual owners to plant flowers and grass on public balconies. Planting flowers on the balcony of the community will have many adverse effects, such as: mosquitoes and ants are easy to breed, the foam box is broken, and soil will flow out when it meets rain, which may block the drainage system.

The top floor leaks water, and the plants falling from the top floor will cause environmental pollution, increase the risk of falling objects, increase the load, affect the safety of residents, and easily lead to neighborhood disputes.

Key points of balcony design:

1, drainage treatment

In order to avoid indoor rainwater flooding, the balcony floor should be 30 ~ 60mm lower than the indoor floor, with a gentle slope in the drainage direction and a water retaining sill at the outer edge to guide the water into the rainwater pipe for discharge. Simple ones include burying galvanized steel pipes or plastic pipes at one or both ends of the balcony for direct drainage, and installing a rain cover at the top of the uppermost balcony.

2, railings and handrails

For safety reasons, a railing or fence is set along the outside of the balcony, about 1 m high, made of wood, brick, reinforced concrete or metal, with handrails on it.

Step 3 decorate

Balcony floor and decorative materials should have the performance of resisting atmospheric and rainwater erosion and preventing pollution. Brick and reinforced concrete balcony surfaces can be plastered, or paved with cylindrical bricks, plastic plates and inlaid with marble and metal plates. The outer edge of the balcony bottom can be plastered with lime mortar within the range of 80 ~ 100 mm, and dripping water can be added. Wooden handrails should be painted for corrosion protection, and metal components and fittings should be rusted.
