I need Father for the meeting in Mankind Redefined, as well as Underground Undercover.
Unfortunately, Father is standing on top of a building near Boston library precinct. I have tried killing him and pushing him to the exit but it doesn't work.
How can I get him off the roof?

I remember the encounter your talking about. As far as I know, they are simply flavor npc's, with no interactions beside idle dialogue and being murdered brutally. They can show up in multiple locations, and I have had them do so.
This is the purpose of the Brahmin Feed Trough, available under Resources > Miscellaneous.
As stated in game, Brahmin will tend to stay near their feed trough so if you place a feed trough away from entrances to buildings, all of your Brahmin will gather around it and not wander around the settlement anymore.
Here is a really bad example, where I placed the trough too close to a building and the Brahmin. However, it does demonstrate that the Brahmin will all try to get as close to the trough as possible:
If you build your trough in an enclosure away from buildings you'll generally find the Brahmin will enter the enclosure and stay there. This is demonstrated in the standard arrangement at Abernathy Farm:
Note this won't apply to Brahmin travelling with traders, they seem to do their own thing a lot.
Unfortunately you can't rely on settlers to close doors or gates, and there's nothing you can do to make them close without your intervention.
For Hangman's Alley specifically, it's quite a narrow space so if you walled off the other end of the alley and have the trough outside of the alley this would likely keep them away from your structures.

The Institute mission "Mankind Redefined" The Underground Railroad "Underground Undercover" entail the Institute mission "Powering Up" to complete.
If you haven't been able to get Father to meet you at the Institute Reactor, you may have one of two problems.
1.) Make sure you've met all the mission requirements to progress. Sometimes it's easy to miss a step in nested missions.
2.) You are likely suffering a glitch where Father won't move from his station. Players who have reported this glitch has so far only fixed it by reverting to an earlier save, and I've not read of or been able to find any documentation regarding patch fixes but see it mainly confined to the PC version of the game .
