Rockdale Ch. 22 Art. VIII § 22-204 establishes that roofing materials on buildings must be kept in a condition that prevents water or moisture from entering the structure. Any missing or damaged shingles or other roofing components must be repaired or replaced promptly to avoid interior deterioration. Where gutters and downspouts are present, they must be kept clear of debris and functioning properly to drain water efficiently from roof surfaces.

For Property Managers

Under Rockdale § 22-204, compliant property operators routinely inspect roofing materials for damage, missing shingles, or deterioration and arrange timely repairs before water intrusion can cause interior damage. Operators also schedule regular cleaning and inspection of gutters and downspouts to ensure unobstructed drainage. Maintaining dated records of inspections and completed repairs is a practice commonly associated with demonstrating ongoing compliance with this provision.

For Tenants

Rockdale § 22-204 gives tenants a basis to raise concerns when roofing materials are damaged, missing, or allowing moisture into a building, or when gutters and downspouts are clogged or broken. Tenants who observe these conditions may document them with photographs and written notices to the landlord, and may also contact Rockdale's local code enforcement or property maintenance authority to request an inspection. Tenant-rights organizations can help residents understand the general enforcement paths available under this provision.
