Along with this, the Mumbai civic body, also known as Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), had also declared a total of 188 dilapidated buildings where residents have been issued notices to vacate immediately.
Dilapidated buildings in Mumbai are a major concern, with over 10,000 buildings in the city being classified as such. However, this number also includes buildings that are repairable. Every year, MHADA carries out a pre-monsoon audit, and based on the outcome, notices to vacate are issued to residents of these ‘dangerous’ buildings.
The redevelopment of dilapidated buildings in the Mumbai real estate market is a major issue in the city, and time and again there have been incidents of building collapse during Mumbai monsoon. The MHADA offers an option of transit tenements built by it to these residents. However, several residents refuse to vacate their homes due to location preference and other social issues.
The 20 most dangerous buildings are located in areas such as Girgaum, Kalbadevi, Khetwadi, Kamathipura, and are more than 80 years old. There are 494 residents and 217 non-residents who are tenants in these 20 high-risk buildings.
The Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA) is a state housing authority responsible for the development and maintenance of housing infrastructure in Maharashtra.
