46. Chapter VIII of the MHADA Act provides for repairs and reconstruction of dilapidated buildings. MHADA is supposed to undertake structural repairs of the buildings which are in ruinous condition and likely to deteriorate and fall. However, where the cost of the structural repairs exceeds Rs.1200/- per sq.mtr., MHADA may not consider such buildings for repairs and issue a certificate to that effect to the owner of the buildings. Where the occupiers are ready to contribute to the cost in excess of Rs.1200/- per sq.mtr., MHADA may carry out the structural repairs.
