Residents of BMC buildings to pay now for repairs

Comments(2) Sub Category:Civic Issues,Maintenance,Mumbai,Municipality Posted On: Jan 11, 2013

BMC buildingsFrom now onwards, the tenants staying in building owned by Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) have to pay for the repair works carried out in their properties.

Around 53000 tenants who live in 9897 BMC owned buildings have to shell out money for the same. Earlier, the municipal corporation used to fund for all the major works and repairs done.

Most of the tenants who reside in these buildings are BMC employees and the repair charges will be taken from them for the next five years.

As per BMC deputy municipal commissioner, the repair fees will be recovered in the form of service charges. Many others have criticised the new norm saying the BMC properties in Mumbai are very old and some of them need major repairs, which may cost more. The civic body is putting extra burden on the tenants.
