Tutte le coperture piane sono solai tipo predalles con opportuni isolamenti ed impermeabilizzazioni; sul filo dei prospetti sono presenti velette scossalina in lamiera zincata e preverniciata.
Am I right in thinking "prospetti" means elevations? But what is meant by "filo" here? thanks.

I THINK IT\'S FACADE LINE (LINE IF IT\'S HORIZONTAL / PROFILE IF IT\'S VERTICAL )
All buildings shall be set back from the street uniformly to present a continuous façade line along the street, except that minor recesses or projections for entries, arcades and similar elements may be acceptable. Where a continuous façade line is not available, structures shall be setback within five feet of the existing setback line average along that side of the street within that block.

edges of the [roof] frame(s)
frame = telaio, struttura (i assume it refers to the frame on which the roof is build), but take "roof" away if it doesn't sound too good. Ciao.
