Rooftop Terrance Liability / Legal / Insurance Considerations

Posted

Hello all,

I am building a 2 story ADU complex in Los Feliz. The roof will be at 18 ft (height limit the city gave me). I am planning to have private roof access for each of the 2 townhome style units that will be in the complex. Will have artificial turf, plants, etc up there. There is a view of Griffith Observatory from that height so believe this will attract renters and, along with the luxury finishes, attract a luxury rental rate.

Anyways, from a build cost perspective it doesn't add much as a % of the total project (hence why its worth doing). HOWEVER, are there any legal / liability / insurance considerations here I should be aware of before I put a rooftop terrace 18 ft off the ground for tenants to use?

Thanks!

Franklin
