Roof access in aparemt

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 16 July 2022 This query is : Resolved
Hi
I live in the top floor of an high rise (13 floors) apartment. I have to replace broken glass on my window. For this i need roof access to replace that sliding window.
Apartment association is not permitting roof access instead asking me to cut the window grill from inside(my own cost) and replace the window.
They are not ready even with a legal declaration stating i will be responsible for any accidents and loss of life during this work.
Is association right in not allowing roof access and asking me to spend more and replace window from inside?
Thanks

Quick Summary

A resident living on the top floor of a 13-storey apartment needs roof access to replace a broken window but the association is refusing. They are instead suggesting the resident cut the window grill from inside at their own expense. While the association is a common area, residents have the right to access it for necessary repairs to their own property. The association cannot dictate how repairs are carried out and residents may need to issue a legal notice or involve the civil court if access is denied.

There are no legal elements in your query. You can raise this issue in the General Body meeting of the apartment association.

Apartment owners association can not decline / restrict any member access to get his / her flat repaired/ renovated. The association is a toothless body, get it repaired.
However, if someone stops, file a police complaint against him/ her and seek permanent and mandatory injunction through a local prudent lawyer.
I agree with the opinion and advise of Mr. Kavksatayanarayana, a senior expert.

Hello,

Roof of building is common area so no one can restrict any of the occupant of building. You have to approach civil court.

Repairs to your apartment is incidental your ownership of the property. The Association is a stranger to the issue. It has no jurisdiction to decide how the repair is to be carried out. You may issue a legal notice.
