The notice issued by the civic body's Building Department states that the "property appears to have been constructed not in conformity with the sanctioned plan and thereof/not in consonance with the relevant provisions of the DMC Act, 1957, and the building by-laws made thereunder".

The details of violations are -- "excess coverage/deviation against the sanction building plan No.325/B/28 from basement floor to second floor and infringement in setback and unauthorised construction at terrace floor i.e. third floor of one room of ACC sheet shade with toilet and one ACC sheet shade (three sides open)".
