There is a mess/canteen in the ground floor of our building. Is it legal to have a mess running in a residential building. Its filthy with rats and cockroaches running around. Please advice.

M.Roy: Many multi-dwelling complexes now have a canteen/coffeehouse on the premises.
However, they usually abide by strict pest-control practices so as to not place the residents at any inconvenience.
Your Association could place strict pest-control regulations on the canteen, with frequent checks.

Royji, Canteen / mess on gr floor is either run by a member of your society or by your assn (collect rent). Any way civic body Health dept gives periodic clearance. Complaint to BBMP Health Dept will do the trick.
Nothing works without a complaint. Be specific like rats / cockroaches / mosquitoes

We are having 15 flats in our apartment. It is constructed on 2001. But we have not yet registered our association. How to do our Association bye laws registration ? Some of the owners not giving monthly maintenance, hence how to proceed legally?
