We have bought a flat in 2018 with completion certificate and mutation has been done by Feb, 2019. This flat is under KMC, Kolkata. This apartment contains 6 resedintial flat and 3 commercial places. All the commercial places are under the apartment premises, that is there is no separate main entrance to the commercial plot. One of the commercial plot, done registration in April 2019, and mutation done in August 2019. After mutation, they have demolished one of the outer window, and made a door in the outside. Since, the outer wall fall under common property, can they demolish the same without the concern of the flat owners?? Moreover, the door constructed in the backside of the apartment, which hampers the security of the apartment. The comercial space owner, completely separated the space into two by erecting a permanent wall from inside. My questuins are 1. Are they demolish the outer window and outer wall to make an entrance door? Is it legal? 2. Inside wall erection and dividing a single commercial space into 2 is legal? 3. Can a commercial space or part of it be rented as residential space? 4. Can a single commercial space can be utilized as two separate commercial space?...or can be uused as one commercial and one residential space? 5. If they dont give the maintanence what can we do? as we dont have any association.
First without permission of municipality, no construction and change in actual sanctioned plan is violation of CC. And gate exit which may hamper security of residents is not permitted.
Any change from sanctioned plan without permission is illegal. Commercial and residential place in same builder is not permissible. Commercial place can be used for residence but not vice versa.
Complain to municipality.
IF no association, everyone bear own cost.
1) no alteration can be made without consent of the society and muncipal corporation
2) demolition of outer window and outer wall to make an entrance door is illegal
3)for division of commercial space into 2 permission should have been obtained
4) permission of society is necessary to give premises on rent
5) if they fail to pay maintenance association should sue them to recover maintenance
6) issue legal notice to builder to form cooperative housing society of flat owners
7) if no association or society is formed complain to muncipal corporation against illegal alterations made contrary to sanctioned plans
Cooperative of housing society can be made with just 6 flat owners?
10 members, in your case condominium will form.
1. IF something is deviated from the original sanctioned Plans, THEN complaint to the Municipal office, seeking direction to restore the property as per the Plans.
2. IF there is no Association, NO action can be taken on Defaulter property owners.
