Ours is a Co-operative Housing Society in Mumbai. A 7 storey building with Stilt Parking. No Ground floor. One of the members living on the 3rd floor wants to start Commercial Activities in her flat and has requested for a NOC from the Society. We have declined her request since ours is a residential building with 56 flats. The member is an ordinary office staff doing clerical job now has resigned and wants to carry out some marketing activities in her flat. We would like to know whether approval can be given for commercial activities in a residential complex. Please let us know what could be the consequences if such activities are carried out.

She requires no permission for such activities unless it causes some nuisance or injury to others.

The commercial activity by one member will pave way for others to follow suit to begin their own commercial activities. This will pollute the residential peace and the flat owners who are not into any kind business from their flats will be a troubled lot. The society shall be held responsible for converting residential area to a commercial hub. This will create unnecessary problems for residents and may even endanger the safety of the residents due to public movements inside the apartments.
You can decide about it in a general body meeting, safety is in not allowing such an irregular thing.
