"A BMC team went to the Pali Hill bungalow of the actor in suburban Bandra and posted the notice there as nobody was present to receive the notice," a civic official told.
The notice pointed out over a dozen alterations in the bungalow, like a "toilet being converted into office cabin" and "new toilets being constructed alongside the staircase", the official said.

"The BMC has asked Kangana to respond within 24 hours to let the civic body know if she had any approvals for the work," he said.
Kangana's recent remark comparing Mumbai to Pakistan- occupied Kashmir (PoK) has drawn ire of the ruling Shiv Sena whose leaders are targeting the BJP for defending her.
In a tweet on Monday, she said officials of the Sena- ruled civic body visited her office and may demolish the property on Tuesday.
Stating that she has done nothing illegal on her property, the actor said BMC should show the illegal construction with a notice.
"They have forcefully taken over my office measuring everything, also harassing my neighbours," she tweeted. "I am informed tomorrow they are demolishing my property," she added.
Parag Masurkar, the deputy municipal commissioner, confirmed that a team of officials inspected Ranaut's office set up in a row house located in the upmarket Pali Hill area of Bandra.
He said the visit was a part of regular exercise to keep a tab on illegal constructions and the team also inspected some other row houses in the area.
Masurkar said as per their records it (Ranaut's office) was residential property, and they wanted to confirm if any changes have been made in the structure.
According to BMC sources, the team is likely to submit a report within a couple of days after which further course of action will be decided.
