Five lives lost as builder ignored fire compliance

The building was redeveloped ten years ago but is yet to get an occupation certificate.

Around 56,000 bldgs in city without OC

The 17-storey Crystal Tower building, where four people died in a fire, was not issued the OC by the BMC.

The developer Abdul Razzaq Supariwala was remanded in police custody till August 27 on Thursday.

Premises were occupied without OC; 58 flat occupants were asked to vaccate in 2016.

Developer can charge for ready-to-use amenities only.

Another lawyer, appearing for an intervenor, said that the MOFA was specifically for the purpose.

The school management informed the court that it would be redeveloping the existing structure in a time-bound manner.

In the event the regulator receives a complaint against any housing society, it will be forced to act against the respective builder.
