Even as the concerns surrounding the conservation of Esplanade Mansion are yet to be addressed, heritage enthusiasts have now started voicing the same for the repair work of Framroze Court at Marine Drive, which has been taken up by the Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA). Protesting the renovation of the external façade of the building, members of the Federation of Resident Trusts (FORT) said a heritage conservationist should be involved in such cases and the expert should either approve or monitor the work.

The FORT members had highlighted their concerns in the letter they wrote to the Mumbai Heritage Conservation Committee (MHCC) and vice-president of MHADA, Milind Mhaiskar, in July. They had pointed out that the Framroze Court was part of the Victorian Gothic and Art Deco Ensemble and highlighted that the repair work needed to follow the ICOMOS and UNESCO guidelines.  The letter states, "MHADA is undertaking extensive repair and reconstruction of the building, which can be sensitively repaired without losing the original Art Deco features." After receiving the letter, MHCC had written to the A ward office and directed the civic body to "take appropriate action in the matter". The letter was sent to MHADA as well. When contacted, Mhaiskar said, "I will look into the matter and we will address MHCC's concerns."
