Navi Mumbai: The Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) has officially declared 501 buildings across the city limits as dangerous for occupancy for the year 2025–2026, following a ward-wise structural survey conducted under Section 264 of the Maharashtra Municipal Corporation Act.
Of these, 51 buildings fall under the ‘C-1’ category, which are classified as extremely dangerous, unfit for habitation, and must be vacated and demolished immediately. Meanwhile 104 buildings are listed under ‘C-2A’, which require evacuation followed by structural repairs. Another 297 buildings fall under ‘C-2B’, indicating the need for repairs without evacuation, while 49 buildings are categorised under ‘C-3’, requiring only minor repairs.
Written notices have already been served to owners and occupants of the listed buildings, clearly stating that continued residential or commercial use poses serious threats to life and property. Power and water supply to C-1 buildings will be disconnected, as per the government circular dated November 5, 2015, from the Maharashtra Urban Development Department.
The civic body has warned that any incident involving loss of life or property due to the collapse of these buildings will hold the owners or occupants solely responsible. NMMC has explicitly stated that it will not be liable for any damages resulting from non-compliance.
“Residents of C-1 structures have been urged to vacate immediately, while those in C-2A, C-2B, and C-3 buildings are advised to undertake the necessary repair work without delay to avoid risk during the monsoon,” a NMMC officer said.
