There is a Ground + 2-storeyed Sanatorium in the complex of the Dargah consists of thirty 1 and 2 bedroom, hall,
kitchen apartments with attached bath. These accommodations are being allotted to the residents of
Mumbai and it's vicinity as a transit accommodation at very nominal rates of Rs. 150 to Rs. 600 per month for a maximum period of 3
months.
Earlier the sanatorium consisted of single storeyed blocks of 1 room
and kitchen with a small balcony. The new Ground + 2 storeyed apartment building was constructed in the early 1980's
to accommodate more families.
Mumbai being a place where middle class families live in single or two bed room
houses having shared facilities. The sanatorium was a big relief for many of these families who could well afford the luxury of a
sea face home as well as be close to their favourite Pir Haji Ali Shah Bukhari (R.A.).
