Roofs and drainage. The roof and flashing shall be sound, tight and not have defects that admit rain. Roof drainage shall be adequate to prevent dampness or deterioration in the walls or interior portion of the structure. Roof drains, gutters and downspouts shall be maintained in good repair and free from obstructions. Roof water shall not be discharged in a manner that creates a public nuisance. The failure to maintain a property in compliance with this subsection shall constitute a violation punishable as set forth within § 6A-21.

Yes. If you do not have some form of system that collects rain water from the roof and discharged therefrom to contained points of exit from the roof, you are allowing a public nuisance to visitors entering upon your property.
