An occupation certificate (OC) is a document issued by the local municipal authority, such as the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), certifying that a building has been constructed according to the approved plans and is safe for occupation.
The Bombay High Court ordered the residents to vacate the flats because the building's top 18 floors (17-34) do not have an occupation certificate, making their occupation illegal and unsafe.
Occupying a building without an OC can pose significant safety risks, such as structural issues, lack of fire safety measures, and non-compliance with building regulations, which can lead to accidents and endanger the lives of occupants.
Residents can work with the building owner or management to rectify any violations, submit the necessary documentation to the local municipal authority, and apply for an occupation certificate. This process may involve inspections and compliance with building regulations.
The BMC is responsible for ensuring that buildings comply with building regulations and safety standards. In this case, the BMC flagged illegalities in the construction of floors 17-34 and directed the residents to vacate the flats.
