Dear @Mohammad_Hashim

In Jaipur’s heritage areas, building regulations are stringent to preserve the city’s architectural integrity. Typically, structures are limited to Ground + 2 floors (G+2). However, amendments have allowed constructions up to G+3 floors in certain cases. The construction of a fifth floor, reaching 18 meters, may exceed these permissible limits. Additionally, safety concerns arise if the building lacks proper structural support.​ Read this document:

Recommended Actions:

  1. Report the Issue: Contact the Jaipur Municipal Corporation to verify the legality of the construction.​
  2. Safety Assessment: Request a structural safety evaluation to ensure the building does not pose a risk to residents and neighbors.​
  3. Consult Local Authorities: Engage with the Jaipur Development Authority for guidance on heritage conservation regulations.​
