The BMC demolition at Ajay Devgn’s Juhu bungalow has brought attention to alleged unauthorised construction at the Mumbai property. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) demolished certain portions of the bungalow on October 12, 2026, after construction work reportedly continued despite a civic notice directing it to stop.
Located in Kapol Co-operative Housing Society in Juhu, the property was reportedly leased to Florian Hurel Salon Private Limited. The work allegedly included internal modifications, partition walls, window installations and other construction changes without the necessary approvals.
The BMC confirmed that it had taken action against the alleged unauthorised construction. According to the civic body, its Building Proposal Department had not granted the required permissions for the interior work being carried out at the premises.
BMC Issued Stop-Work Notice in September
On September 10, 2026, the civic body issued a notice under Section 354A of the Mumbai Municipal Corporation Act, 1888. It directed the owner or occupant to stop the work immediately and submit the necessary permissions and documents within 24 hours.
The notice reportedly referred to construction involving Siporex blocks at the property, identified as CTS No. 841, Plot No. 10, in Kapol Co-operative Housing Society, Juhu.
After the work allegedly continued despite the notice, the BMC proceeded with the demolition of portions of the bungalow on October 12.
Bungalow Was Leased to a Salon Company
The approximately 7,802-square-foot bungalow, situated in the JVPD Scheme in Juhu, was reportedly leased to Florian Hurel Salon Private Limited through a registered leave-and-licence agreement dated August 10, 2026.
According to the details provided, the five-year agreement involved a total amount of ₹10.61 crore, with monthly rent beginning at ₹16 lakh and an annual escalation of 5 per cent.
The Devgn family had also sought a no-objection certificate (NOC) from the housing society for leasing the property to the salon company. In a letter dated July 22, 2026, the society’s then-authorised officer reportedly confirmed the family’s ownership and stated that the society had no objection to the lease.
Housing Society Raised Concerns Over Commercial Use
The housing society reportedly maintained that its NOC permitted the property to be leased on a leave-and-licence basis but did not explicitly authorise a change from residential to commercial use.
It also stated that the NOC did not permit structural alterations or changes related to services at the property.
The demolition followed the civic body’s action over alleged unauthorised work. The available details do not establish whether any subsequent permissions were granted or whether the property’s proposed commercial use received separate approval.
