There are over 16,000 dilapidated buildings across Mumbai and over 700 of these have been classified as very dangerous, according to a BMC survey. Most of the dilapidated buildings are

situated in areas like Byculla, Wadala, Sewri, Parel, Ghatkopar, and Kurla. While some residents have vacated their buildings before monsoon, fearing it may collapse, most chose to stay on.

While they constantly fear a building collapse, their fear of a redevelopment project going wrong is greater.
