As part of its annual pre-monsoon inspection, the Mumbai Building Repairs and Reconstruction Board (MBRRB)under MHADA has declared 96 cessed buildings in South Mumbai as “extremely dangerous to reside in”. These structures, many of which are over a hundred years old, have deteriorated to the point where continued occupation poses serious threats to life and property.
The list includes 2 buildings that were declared unsafe in 2024 but have not yet been vacated. These buildings remain on the danger list due to non-compliance with evacuation orders.
Summary of Impact:
| Details | Numbers |
|---|---|
| Total Buildings Declared Unsafe | 96 |
| Residential Tenants Affected | 2,577 |
| Non-Residential Units Affected | 585 |
| Total Tenants Affected | 3,162 |
| Evacuation Notices Issued | 184 |
| Tenants Shifted to Transit Camps | 3 |
| Tenants Yet to Vacate | 176 |
What is a “Cessed Building”?
Cessed buildings are old structures located in South Mumbai built before 1969, for which tenants pay a nominal “cess” (a type of tax) to the government for maintenance and repair under MHADA’s purview. These buildings are legally protected under various rent control laws, but are often structurally weak due to age and lack of redevelopment.
Official Statement:
According to MBRRB, despite evacuation notices, most residents have not made alternative housing arrangements, and many continue to occupy these high-risk buildings. The board has now begun initiating forced eviction proceedings in such cases.
MBRRB’s Appeal to Residents:
The board has urged all tenants of the listed buildings to cooperate with officials, vacate the premises when instructed, and follow all safety protocols to avoid life-threatening accidents during the monsoon season.
The board has also emphasized that its control room is active 24/7 to handle emergencies and requests for assistance.
