The building belongs to Madhav Hegde and Ananth Hegde, who had requested the DC to permit them to demolish it in 1999; however, they did not get the required permission. 


The building is currently in a pathetic condition and residents are afraid that it might fall on them any moment. 


A milk booth located next to the building has been completely damaged, causing a financial loss of Rs. 2 lakh.
