99% of Delhi PGs lack fire NOC, MCD survey finds major safety gaps
An MCD survey has found that almost all paying guest (PG) buildings in Delhi are missing safety approvals. Only 31 of 2,453 buildings checked had fire NOCs (no-objection certificates), and just eight had structural stability certificates. This affects PG owners and the students and workers living in them. If you run or stay in a PG, gather your safety papers now.
Key Statutory Highlights
- An MCD survey found that only 31 of 2,453 PG buildings in Delhi have a fire NOC.
- Just eight of those buildings hold a structural stability certificate.
- The survey points to widespread compliance gaps in PG safety approvals across the city.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:If you own or manage a PG, check whether your fire NOC and structural stability certificate are in place and current, and keep the papers ready in case the MCD asks. A short review with a local professional can help you spot gaps early.
