MHADA Declares 82 Buildings Most Dangerous in Central and South Mumbai

The Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA) has declared 82 buildings as most dangerous across Central and South Mumbai and has appealed to residents to vacate immediately. The list, prepared after structural assessments by the authority, identifies buildings judged to pose imminent risk to occupants and to passersby. Local civic bodies have been asked to coordinate evacuations and to make arrangements for temporary shelter and rehabilitation for displaced households.

Officials said the authority prioritised buildings with visible structural distress, severe cracking, tilting or compromised load bearing elements during inspections carried out in the weeks before the declaration. The announcement is intended to reduce risk while longer term measures such as redevelopment, strengthening and compensation are arranged by relevant agencies. Residents of listed buildings have been urged to register with municipal officials to receive aid and information about alternate accommodation.

Civil engineering teams will carry out follow up surveys and stamping of notices to prevent reoccupation until remedial works or formal condemnation are completed. The authority plans to compile technical reports that outline degrees of damage and provide cost estimates for repairs or for relocation where repairs are impractical. These reports will guide decisions on funding and on prioritising projects under state housing schemes and partnership models with developers.

City authorities noted that timely evacuation reduces potential loss of life and assists in organising safe demolition or rehabilitation where required. They encouraged communities to cooperate with surveys and to avoid reentering buildings until engineers certify them as safe. The authority indicated that assistance for vulnerable households would be prioritised and that further public updates would follow as work progresses steadily.
