Before the monsoon, the Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA)’s Mumbai Building Repairs and Reconstruction Board (MBRRB) issued a list of 82 residential buildings in South and Central Mumbai that have been designated as the city’s most dangerous structures and must be evacuated immediately.

After completing the pre-monsoon survey report, the MHADA ordered inhabitants to evacuate these structures.

According to MHADA, the list of 82 buildings includes 43 buildings that were designated severely unsafe last year. The BMC is yet to release its list of dilapidated properties in the city this year.

In 2025, the MHADA issued a list of 96 severely risky structures. Separately, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) identified 134 more old structures across the city for 2025 and has given urgent eviction warnings to tenants.

In 2024, MHADA produced a similar list of 20 severely unsafe buildings, while BMC issued a list of 188 decaying structures throughout the city.

What is the MHADA’s pre-monsoon audit?

Every year, prior to the monsoon, the MHADA conducts a structural examination to identify structures that pose a safety risk. Based on the findings, MHADA sends evacuation notifications to residents of structures deemed ‘hazardous’.

To help affected residents, MHADA provides transit tenements in different sites. However, many occupants refuse to relocate owing to location preferences, neighborhood ties, and other social issues. Redevelopment of such decrepit structures has long been an issue in Mumbai’s real estate sector, with numerous building collapses reported during the monsoon season.

Where are the 82 most dangerous buildings located?

According to the MHADA, the 82 most unsafe buildings are located in Girgaum, Kalbadevi, Kamathipura, Khetwadi, Mazgaon, Dadar, and Prabhadevi, among others. There are 2,736 renters in these 82 high-risk properties.

“These severely unsafe cessed structures house a total of 2,736 tenants/residents, with 2,256 being residential and 480 being non-residential. The Board has served notices to 176 residential residents, requiring them to remove their properties. According to the announcement, 29 residential tenants/residents have been transferred to MHADA transit camps, while 36 have made alternate arrangements for their lodging.

According to MHADA, the Board is making the required measures to accommodate 2,102 tenants/residents in transit camps. “As required, notices to vacate will be issued to residents/tenants of these highly dangerous buildings and further arrangements for their relocation to transit camps will be made accordingly,” the MHADA stated in its statement.

In its statement, MHADA urged renters and inhabitants of highly unsafe buildings to comply with officials and personnel in fleeing the premises when needed, as well as to follow any directions issued for their personal and their family members’ safety, in order to avoid loss of life and property.
