CHENNAI:
Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority on Friday sealed a Chennai Coffee outlet which was functioning in an unauthorised building consisting of Ground Floor plus mezzanine floor plus five floors abutting Sivasamy Salai in Mylapore.
It is learnt that the building deviated from the original plan in 1982 and was subjected to enforcement action. Now, consequent to the notices issued on November 3, 2015, April 11, 2017 and November 17, 2022, Chennai Coffee Shop with the Groundfloor existing in the front setback space has been sealed, according to the notice put on the building.
The Coffee shop will remain sealed till the building is restored as per the approved plan or removal of unauthorised portions or till the order is revoked.
Interestingly, the building was already sealed by Greater Chennai Corporation last year over property tax issues. It is learnt that the building was issued a lock and seal notice in 2017 as it did not comply with fire safety provisions. It was in November 2022, that CMDA issued a deoccupation notice which was challenged by the Coffee shop owner, who lives as a tenant, in the Madras High Court.
The Madras High court granted the Coffee Shop owner three months time till April 30, 2023 to vacate the premises. Since the time given by Madras High court has lapsed, the Coffee Shop has been sealed.
