Must be using the balcony for storage. Those apartments can feel pretty small

Old dead trees can be dangerous if they catch on fire or something like that.

Again - good point regarding possibility of fire.

A carelessly tossed cigarette from a balcony above could create quite a hazard.

I've got neighbours who use a shared balcony above me, and consistently drop unextinguished cigarettes that land on my porch out front (ground floor) - one still burning as it landed between my feet as I sat in my old chair outside.

If I was the landlord there, I would get right on that.
