Built in violation of norms and with flagrant disregard to repeated stop-work notices from the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), the Campa Cola building does not have an Occupation Certificate. This is not necessarily a problem, though. Only 51% of buildings cleared for construction in Mumbai possess this elusive bit of documentation. The residents of Campa Cola could probably have lived out the rest of their lives in this state of limbo, if they had not made the ill-advised move of drawing attention to the situation. “When the residents decided to approach the BMC for water connections knowing that the building does not have the mandatory OC, I warned them that this could lead to trouble. A section of residents felt that they could bring in influential lawyers such as DS Gandhi who had won many cases against BMC”, Tipnis is quoted as saying.
