I am the member of Zarina Co-Op Housing Society, S.V.Road Bandra( W ) Mumbai 400050. There has been robbery at my place last month in the presences of watchman.The shopkeeper have encroached the illegal structures up-to 22 feet and from this illegal structures have become the easy passage for the robbers. I had given a written application to the society managing committee about the illegal structure but no action has been take. what should i do?
ReplyDeleteYou have to file complaint in MCGM regarding this illegal structure & also attached letter given to managing Committee so that MCGM will take action against that shopkeeper and MC Member.
DeleteYou can file case in consumer court against MC & Security service provider regarding deficiencies in service.
If the secretary and chairman of our housing society refuse to give a "received "remark what can be done against them?
ReplyDeleteYou can send documents through Register AD Post. You can inform your Area Dy./Asst. Registrar C.S. regarding this
ReplyDeleteThe Chairman of our housing society wants to resign due to personal reasons. In this case can he appoint someone from the commitee as the Chairman so that the commitee continues smooth functioning without having to do re-elections. Does he have the powers in the byelaws to do so? Kindly suggest. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteIf he resign only from chairman post not from committee member then Managing committee can appoint any one person from committee as chairman. But he resign from both as chairman and committee member then re-election is only one solutions.
ReplyDeleteI am the secretary of a housing society which comprises of 12 Wings. One representative from each wing is chosen and is a managing committe member. One such MC member representing a Wing is not getting well alongwith other members of the wings and recently created a furore by locking the terrace herself and giving bad words to wings members when approached for keys to terrace. After the incident MC member went to the police station and filed a doctored police complaint indicting 3 wings members who had opposed her. Now all wing members are united and want the removal of MC member. What is the most appropriate method to remove a MC member. Please advise
ReplyDeleteFirstly MC Member can not be 12. It should be 11 only. You can remove the MC member by passing no confidence motion against him/her. 2/3 member out of total member has to sign the letter and submit the letter to Secretary of the society and ask him/her to call SAGM for this point and pass the resolution for this and give the copy to Dy. registrar of C.S. for approval.
Deleteour society secretary is not a member his mother is member and he dont know english or any proper law or society corespondence in this case he is not ready to give resign say his mother gave a power of attorney please suggest in that what should we do
ReplyDeletePower of attorney will not work. Inform Dy. Registrar of C. S. Of your area to remove this secretary and take action against auditor who done audit of your society and not point this matter in audit memo.
DeleteIf the member is on third name in his flat registration , then he can be a secreatary ?
ReplyDeleteyes

ReplyDeleteFirst for trying this illegal construction give letter to your local municipal authority and make copy to Dy. Registrar of C.S. of your area & local police station.
ReplyDeleteIf Managing Committee are doing work as per bye-laws and law then no need to think about her claims. MC has to give another letter to Dy. Registrar and local police station that she is creating hassle in society day to day work and threatening them for doing work as per bye-laws and law since MC object her illegal work

DeleteHi...can a person who owns a flat in the society but doesn't reside (have rented out) be eligible to be the secretary of the society. Is it legally / morally correct?
ReplyDeleteCan i claim from society for repairing cost of fallen ceiling in kitchen due to Severe leakage from terrace.
ReplyDeleteOur secretary is acting as a broker for leave and license.. Is that legal??
ReplyDeleteOur society chairman doesn't have the house he lives in on his name. It is in his mother's name. He lives with his mother and spouse. Is he eligible to be a chairman?
ReplyDeleteI live at ground floor. After my father and mother, my name is at third place as an owner in flat property document.
ReplyDeleteMatter 1
1 resident from 2nd floor of our wing and 1 person from 3rd floor of our neighbour wing has put long sheds in front of our
Kitchen and hall window areas to cover their cars from garbage thrown from up side and from other natural elements. These
sheds are causing darkness and lack of ventilation in our house. We have informed these residents to remove these sheds but no one is responding. I have also discussed this with our wing society secretary and given latter to help us and to take some action on this issue but there is no action from our society secretary. On my written request, Instead of giving notice to them for removal of sheds, society secretary says that he was out of country when these sheds installed by both so he can only give permission latter that he has not permitted for roof installation near ground floors. Me and my father met him personally but society secretary says for you why I should destroy relations with other people? Our society secretary is an Estate Agent.
Matter 2
The roof installers are parking their car’s back side very near to our kitchen and hall windows. This is causing carbon emission & smoke to our house. One of my family member is a kidney patient so we have requested several times to these people but no one is responding here also. Other wing resident is saying that his car is LPG car so it is totally safe. He also said do whatever you want to do ... I will park my car in the same manner. I discussed these with our society secretary and requested to put a request note to not to park cars back side near our windows as soon as possible. Also given this in writing to society drop box as per his society rules guideline which he made to follow but society secretary collected it after 15 days on my another verbal request to provide me received remark on copy as requested in the latter. He mentioned remark as “Received without prejudice” on it. Society secretary collects maintenance cheques and other documents regularly but he was not giving me signed copy with received remark on this latter. Now He says all these will be discussed in society meeting soon but no society meeting is happening.
Society Secretory now says that, parking is bought by car owners so he cant say them how to park cars. Now he is giving me this kind of reply.
DeleteMatter 3:
ReplyDelete2 months back society secretary and treasurer collectively installed CCTV cameras to cover ground floor and terrace area of the building premises. Before the final installation of Cameras happening, I given written objection to not to install any camera in front of any window from any angle of ground floor flats due to privacy reasons. But still they installed the cameras. This CCTV proposal was passed after a single latter with reason of safety and collection of CCTV funds from all the flat owners without any general meeting. CCTV positions were not mentioned in this CCTV proposal latter.
With more on it..., instead of installing on society building walls which we generally see in most of the societies everywhere and which is safest format.... these CCTV cameras installed on the polls at the top side which are very near to society border walls where CCTVs can easily be damaged by anyone climbing on wall or from outside to commit any undesired and risky situation of theft or anything.
Society Secretary is not considering my objection for changing angle of CCTV cameras and requests to downward views & installing cameras on society building walls. Still the positions are not changed as secretary is saying it will be done soon but there is nothing done yet.
After this installation, our neighbour wing secretary has also installed CCTV camera with view of covering from front side now. On my objection of this our wing's secretary is saying I will not say anything on this as it's their decision on their wing. It is noted that these both wing society secretaries discusses every matters and then proceeds.
Currently Society secretary is not taking my objections and requests and just doing time pass so that these things can become weak & can be forgotten. When I give any request on writing... he writes, “Received without Prejudice”
What to do now. ?

ReplyDeleteSir, our society chairman does not look after the society maintenance. In case of emergency maintenance like pipe leaks plumbing issues etc he completely ignores the problem. We members are forced to take decisions and contribute individually to solve the problems.
ReplyDeleteAlso recently our chairman applied for permission to trim trees in our society but instead trees have been cut upto bark level mercilessly. Shouldnt the MC ve informed all the members about this drastic decision that they have taken since trees are assets of te society??
Do let me know actions to take against the chairman
The secretary says that it is not his duty to instruct the watchman to be in his place. The watchman is running errands for people in the building. Who should control the watchman. I am a committee member. What should I do?
