I find myself idly wondering what building owners do about ice dams on flat apartment building roofs.

The roof in question is a few stories above me, so it's definitely idle curiosity.

I may be annoyed if the roof caves in but all my valuable stuff is either a) offsite or b) in waterproof plastic containers. (Well, there's also c) backed up elsewhere, but that's data.)

Anyway, as I don't own the building it's Someone Else's Problem. I think any water leak or cave-in will result in immediate complaints from tenants on floors above me. I count four floors above me. And the building's a steel-frame/concrete/brick facade construction of the sort that cme describes as "the 70s shat here".

Besides, there's nothing I can do about it. I'm not even allowed onto the roof!

That's why it's all idle curiosity. :)
