My building allows roof access, and we even have a some what improvised "garden" up there. But in all the time I have spent up there, I have never noticed anyone on any of the ajoining roofs, which makes me think we are in the minority in allowing access. I suspect this is a building by building issue, and I also suspect that co-op's probably allow more access than rental buildings. If your building is a co-op, I'd suggest discussing this at the next board meeting. My building allows roof access, and we even have a some what improvised "garden" up there.

As the neighborhood gets younger, some of the old, strict rules in buildings are being relaxed. Sometimes this is good, sometimes bad. I will say though that in the eight years I have lived in this building with full access to the roof, we have NEVER had a single issue with security because of that access.
