Why does the top roof just dump the downspout onto the flat roof below it? I would think it would be better to just pipe the upper spout into another gutter/downspout and not give water the chance to pool on that roof/floor bit.
Frankly, it looks like both gutters are an aftermarket addition, which kinda makes sense for an old enough building. And if each individual unit is doing its own drainage work, the temptation to kludge it is real.
There is another pipe directly after it to let it run off, as well as let any water that falls on the terrace run off. I'm assuming it has a slight slope to the bottom right, where the other downspout is.
Pretty sure they have made a slight canal in the tiles, which leads the water straight to the next downspout.
because it's good enough
yes, it could be less messy if it were routed directly into the next. but does it matter? are they sitting out there in the rain in the first place?
why use big material when few material do trick
