Notice: Clearance of Corridor Obstructions – Fire & Safety Compliance

[SDA Palm Springs Association]

Dear Residents,

As part of our ongoing fire and safety preparedness, the Association had engaged Vega (Fire and Safety Services) to inspect the corridors and identify any obstructions that could pose a risk during a fire emergency.

Based on their inspection, certain flats have been identified where items are stored in the corridors. A snapshot of the vendor’s report is attached for your reference. We kindly request the concerned residents to clear the corridor area at the earliest to ensure compliance with fire safety norms and to maintain a safe environment for all.

Please note that non-compliance may attract penalties, as per safety guidelines. Additionally, surprise fire safety inspections and drills may be conducted at any time during the month without prior notice, and fines may be levied in case of violations.

Your cooperation in this matter is highly appreciated and is essential for the safety of all residents.

Thank you for your understanding and support.

Warm regards,
Uma Dayal
Association Member

Mr Uma Dayal,

Go ahead and use your power just like how you will give warning for a crime (refer your previous emails)

Please go ahead and penalise all 300+ units.

Here the choice is between following ur policy vs falling sick and talking antibiotics i would choose paying penalty to you.

While its a serious concern, you also be sensitive towards our living conditions, just step outside of gate3 and see the conditions of ur footwear we still live in third world and not a developed country.

While there are different viewpoints, request you to pay attention to genuine concern of many.

Regards

Ram

Hello Uma Dayal,

In case all 4 residents of a floor are ok, why do we need association to come as an arbitrator? 

Thanks,

Dear Mr. Uma Dayal and Members of the Association,

I would like to state that resident safety is important to all of us, and no one is disputing the intent behind fire and safety guidelines. However, I fully support the concerns expressed by Mr. Ramnath and would like to request the Association to consider the broader context and priorities before moving towards penalties.

We are not living in a fully developed country with surplus infrastructure and flawless civic systems where only micro-level compliance issues remain to be addressed. Many fundamental challenges related to living conditions, maintenance standards, and basic facilities still exist around us. These larger, more impactful issues affect residents on a daily basis and deserve primary attention and resources.

When residents are already managing multiple real-world constraints, focusing aggressively on minor corridor storage issues and threatening penalties can come across as disproportionate and insensitive. The choice for residents should not feel like one between health, daily practicality, and paying fines.

A more balanced and empathetic approach would be to first address and prioritize larger, systemic issues impacting the society. I would suggest engaging residents in dialogue and education rather than enforcement and allow reasonable time and flexibility for compliance without immediately resorting to penalties.

Once the bigger issues are meaningfully addressed and under control, it would be far more reasonable and effective to move toward resolving smaller compliance matters.

I respectfully request the Association to reconsider the tone and approach on this issue, and to work collaboratively with residents rather than adopting a punitive stance.

Thank you for your time and understanding.

Warm regards,

Deepak

Dear Residents,

I have spoken with the personnel who conducted the recent corridor survey and understand that there was a miscommunication regarding the scope of the inspection. I have since discussed this with their manager, and the survey will be conducted again by senior staff.

Only major obstructions along the evacuation path from the fire shaft to individual flats will be considered in the revised survey. At present, some entries (including corner flats that are not part of the common walkable area) appear to have been incorrectly included.

Kindly keep my earlier communication on hold until the revised survey is completed. I will share an updated and accurate report once the rework is done.

However, as a general safety precaution, please do not place bicycles or any items which is heavy (non-movable) in the corridors and ensure that fire shaft areas are not blocked.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation.

Regards,

Uma Dayal

Hi Uma,

I understand the concern and intent of the communication. However, I would like to share some feedback.

Before sending messages to residents, they should be reviewed to avoid unnecessary confusion. I have noticed that in multiple communications, the follow-up response has been “hold on,” which indicates a lack of internal discussion within the association.

I expect clear and well-thought-out communication rather than rushed or unclear information. Please also ensure that the relevant MoM is shared for decisions taken.

Thank You. 

Regards,

Amarkant Kumar

[G.K. Mishra]

Safety & security should not be compromised.  Strict discipline may be observed by the Association in this regard to avoid any penalty imposed by Fire Safety  & Audit team by respective Govt deptt. There should not be any encroachment of corridor space as well as stair case entrance/exit points. In this regard Ph 1 & 2 are very much disciplined.

Hi Mr Uma,

Do not try to threating residents using your unnecessary power? We have elect you and not you paid for us living. Correct me if I am wrong.

And about risk and security most effected person will be that wing or floor neighbours, not other floor person and not you. How many time you come to my wing or my floor to visit us.

There are a lot of things association has to care about common things. I can show you how cleaning happening. And other your security approving the visitors. First of all take care of those things.

Do not interfere with our daily life living.

You did not pay for us. 

Thanks & Regards

Hi Uma,

Thank you for your continued hard work and dedication in meeting the expectations of your role.

Your prompt, direct communication and timely actions are helping everyone stay well informed. Residents were not expecting such active engagement, especially since there was no or very limited communication from the association last year. As a result, people are feeling encouraged and excited.

Regarding corridor cleaning, please take the decision that best addresses residents’ concerns while also complying with Fire Department guidelines. We will definitely try to avoid any  additional fines in case of rule violations.

Thank you once again for your efforts and proactive approach.

Dear Association Team,

I noticed that my flat number (50112) has been listed in the recent email regarding the presence of a shoe rack and dustbin in the corridor.
I would like to understand when this survey or inspection was conducted. My flat was on rent until mid-November, and I personally started staying here only from 1st January. The apartment was vacant for almost one and a half months, and since I started living here I have not placed any shoe rack outside my door. Hence, I am trying to understand which shoe rack was observed and during what period. 

However, I was planning to keep a shoe rack, I believe we all need a shoe rack that needs to be kept outside our door considering the hygiene and health of our kids and family.

It would be better if we can make some guidelines for shoe rack (such as permissible size, placement, and required clearance) while ensuring the fire and safety requirements. Asking to keep the shoe rack inside home and applying fine without having any guidelines is not a best practice in a good community I believe. Also I can't see some flat numbers in the list who kept the shoe rack, hence how do you confirm the genuinity before applying fine? Are we confirming with residents about the ownership of the items?

Additionally, my apartment is located at a corner, and I don’t understand how a twenty inch corner area is considered as part of fire and safety pathway requirements.

I understand that I may have missed earlier discussions on this matter since I was not residing in the society earlier. Apologies to everyone if this email is sent without full context.
Looking forward to having more clarity.

With Warm Regards,

Ibrahim Thekkumkara

Dear Association,

Agreed for any other items kept as a blocker should be removed. But as a practice from generations, we have never carried out footwear inside our house due to religious reasons and someone should not be forced to change their traditions and customs due to these rules.

We can be sure to keep it in a way that it does not become blockers for safety. The flats who are having their slippers scattered all over outside their flats are equivalent to the ones with shoe racks.

Please do not impose such rules which interfere with someone's religious practices or customs.

As a practice, we have never carried out shoes inside our house due to customary and hygiene reasons and we would not be either. But we can ensure to place it in a way that it does not become a hindrance in safety.

Thank you

Neha

All, it’s already communicated that there was some misunderstanding by vendor when they published the report and they are rectifying it. Meanwhile nothing changes and status quo remains.

Association has taken note of the points raised and it will be considered, so request you all to wait for few more days for further notice.

Thanks,

Prasath

Please avoid placing the entire responsibility on the vendor, as this should not be a one-sided matter. You had previously sent an email regarding fire safety and the ongoing audit, which means you had discussion with the vendor already. If the vendor was unclear about the rules[then I am not sure why we selected the vendor], it suggests there may have been a communication gap between the association and the vendor as well. I would say it would have been better that the association at least accepted this or acknowledged their mistake.

Additionally, I am uncertain about how certain items are being classified as acceptable to keep in the corridor. Our bye-laws clearly state that any items placed in the corridor pose a fire safety hazard. There was an email mentioning that if the floor members agree, the association would have no objection[i am not sure if that was residents/association]. However, corridors are common areas governed by the RWA bye-laws and cannot be subject to floor-wise exceptions.

If we are committed to enforcing fire safety regulations, we must ensure that corridors remain clear. Alternatively, those who have placed shoe racks or other items in the corridors should provide signed consent acknowledging that they are not complying with the rules. We cannot selectively interpret the rules based on convenience. When Krishna was part of the association, it was explicitly stated that nothing should be kept in the corridors. While it is understandable that some residents may oppose this, those who do so—and whose floors agree—should formally acknowledge their non-compliance. This will help ensure that, in the unfortunate event of any incident, responsibility lies with those individuals rather than the association or residents who adhere to the rules.
