Would you work on this roof?

I don't get the objection. Do you guys never have to work on units setting on swampy ground? As mentioned, some roofs are designed to hold water for various reasons.

One very large roof I did a lot of work on was a water retaining roof by design. Along with the vegetation there were also frogs and small fish in the deeper pools. Birds having eaten fish crap fish eggs onto roofs that hold water and the fish grow.

During dry spells, these roofs all dry up. That pretty much keeps down the nastier stuff like legionaires.

I think the question was based upon what I would do when given a choice. Since I had been in that situation, I can tell you that the insurance underwriter did not take kindly to his building owner exposing his policy to possible negligence claims. If you have service personnel accessing equipment on your roof, you need to be mindful of maintenance of that area that is "normal and customary." Unless this IS a roof designed to retain water, and in that case I would expect an OSHA-complaint access with dry feet in front of the electrical access panels, then this is simply a case of a neglectful owner.

I wonder if the shopping carts are a part of a new ecosystem?
