Pigeon control in Paris 14th
Pigeon control here concerns preventive measures while occupants continue using the affected balcony, loggia or window. In Rue d’Alésia, Pernety and the other parts of Paris 14th, a device may affect the façade or a shared part of the building. It therefore cannot always be decided from inside the flat alone. Prevention is also separate from removing droppings and cleaning surfaces.
A measure based only on what can be seen from inside may overlook access points on a façade, ledge or inner courtyard. The property remains occupied during the assessment and essential uses must be preserved. Possible solutions are considered according to the support, access, building rules and agreement required. Existing droppings are not removed simply because a preventive measure is being examined.
- Examine pigeon access from the property and its surroundings.
- Preserve the use of the relevant balcony, loggia or window.
- Distinguish preventive devices from the removal of droppings.
- Check the agreement required when the façade or shared parts are affected.
Organising prevention while the property remains occupied
Daily uses to preserve
- The balcony remains accessible according to the agreed conditions.
- A window used for ventilation or daylight is not blocked without a suitable decision.
- A loggia may require specific organisation when occupants use it regularly.
- Proposed devices are examined without unnecessarily removing everyday uses.
The supports concerned
- A ledge, façade, railing or overhang may present different conditions.
- Pigeon access points are distinguished from areas that are simply dirty.
- An inner courtyard may affect the observation of flight paths and landing points.
- Supports outside the property require access and authorisation to be checked.
Agreement from the building’s owners
- The façade may belong to shared parts of the building.
- The external appearance must be considered before a device is proposed.
- The building’s owners or their representative may need to be consulted.
- Agreement from inside the flat does not automatically authorise exterior work.
In Rue d’Alésia and Pernety, preventing pigeons in occupied buildings
In buildings around Rue d’Alésia and Pernety, continuous balconies may connect several flats and inner courtyards may provide pigeons with access or landing points. Occupants may nevertheless continue opening windows, using their balconies or spending time in their loggias. Prevention must therefore be considered without removing a necessary use. Points observed from inside are compared with what can be seen on the façade, ledges and shared areas concerned.
A measure affecting the outside of the building cannot be decided from inside the flat alone. In a building in Pernety or around Rue d’Alésia, agreement from the building’s owners may be required according to the support, the visibility of the device and whether it affects shared parts. Preventive pigeon control does not remove existing droppings. Dirt, marks and surface cleaning form a separate request, even when they concern the same balcony or window.
How preventive pigeon control is examined
Observation
Access points, landing areas and possible installation locations are identified from the property and accessible surrounding areas.
Uses
Windows, balconies, loggias and routes used by occupants are recorded before a measure is considered.
Supports
The façade, ledges, railings, overhangs and other relevant supports are examined according to their position.
Agreement
Elements connected with shared parts, the building’s exterior or the external appearance are identified.
Solution
Measures compatible with the supports and daily uses are considered without confusing prevention with cleaning.
Validation
The scope, required agreements and limits of the work are brought together before any device is installed.
The criteria that guide pigeon control in Paris 14th
- The point where pigeons access or settle.
- How the balcony, loggia or window is used each day.
- The nature and condition of the support.
- Whether the support belongs to the flat or shared parts.
- The visibility of a device from the façade or inner courtyard.
- Whether the building’s owners or representative must agree.
- The separation between prevention and droppings removal.
- Whether the area can actually be accessed for examination or installation.
These criteria examine prevention in a property that remains occupied. They do not establish automatically that a device can be installed, nor authorise work on a façade without the required agreement. Droppings removal and surface cleaning are assessed separately. The possible measure depends on the support, daily uses and permissions that have actually been confirmed.

Frequently asked questions about pigeon control in Paris 14th
Does pigeon control mean cleaning droppings?
No. Pigeon control concerns measures intended to prevent or limit pigeons settling on identified areas. Removing droppings and cleaning the affected supports are separate operations. Both requests may concern the same balcony, window or courtyard, but they do not have the same purpose. Existing deposits are not removed automatically because prevention is being considered.
Can a device be installed from inside the flat?
Not always. If a device affects the façade, an external railing, a shared part or the building’s appearance, agreement from the building’s owners may be required. A decision made inside the flat does not automatically provide permission. The support, its position and the building’s rules must be checked before installation is considered.
Can occupants continue using their balcony?
The aim is to consider a measure compatible with the property’s necessary uses. The balcony, loggia or window is examined according to how it is used and the device being considered. A daily use should not be removed without a defined reason. The actual conditions must still be checked according to the support and possible solution.
Why should an inner courtyard be examined?
An inner courtyard may contain ledges, cornices, overhangs or other landing points that help explain pigeon access. Looking only from inside the flat may leave part of the route unexamined. The courtyard is therefore considered where access allows, without assuming that it belongs to the private scope of the individual property.
Who agrees to work on the façade?
The required agreement depends on the status of the support and the nature of the device. A façade or shared part may fall within the building’s collective arrangements and require discussion with the relevant representative or owners. The flat’s occupant or owner may not be able to authorise visible exterior work alone.
Can pigeon control be examined on a continuous balcony?
Yes, but a continuous balcony may concern several flats and require a wider assessment than one property alone. Access points, occupants’ uses and the status of the support must be distinguished. Prevention cannot be decided only from the section used by one resident, particularly where a proposed device could affect adjoining areas.
What should be included in a pigeon-control request?
State where the pigeons are present, whether the issue concerns a balcony, loggia, window, façade or inner courtyard, and how the area is used. Mention any existing droppings separately. It is also useful to say whether shared parts or the building’s external appearance may be involved, because an agreement may need to be checked.
