Structural audit and repairs

SSK_2019_DEV (Querist) 29 June 2020 This query is : Resolved
My society (CHS) is within the Mumbai Muncipal Limit and is over 35 years old, we hav recieved the section 353 B notice for structural audit report over last couple of years. Inspite of receiving the notice, the then management committee didn't proceed to go in for a structural audit to be done as they are more interested in getting a redevelopment done. But for last 10-12 years nothing is moving on the redevelopment side with the committee getting their on preferred builder (malicious with no experience) every time. Lately it has come to notice in 2018 when the said notice was again received they had got a fake report of structural audit created though it was not submitted. Now we have received the notice again for a structural audit and these members are again delaying the things, with this they are just risking the life's of the others who want the building to be repaired as redevelopment is not moving anywhere. These are the members who have an alternate place of residency and are just dragging things for us.
With the above info I have few queries
1. As a member of the CHS, what are the options with me as an individual to take up so that i can compel them to act
2. If I believe that there is no way to have a competent Management committee in our CHS, what options do I have
3. Is there any way to get the repairs done of the building

Quick Summary

This discussion addresses concerns about a Mumbai CHS (Co-operative Housing Society) that has repeatedly ignored Section 353B notices for structural audits, prioritising redevelopment that hasn't materialised for over a decade. The current management is accused of delaying necessary repairs and potentially creating fake audit reports. Members are seeking ways to compel the management committee to act, explore options if the committee is deemed incompetent, and find methods to get essential building repairs undertaken.

Write an application to MC of the CHS for getting structural audit of the premises, giving a copy to the BMC.

You can join with similarly minded members and requisition a special general body to discuss the matter and to take appropriate decision.
