Noida: Residents who lived in the Highrise community in Noida called for their building structural audit by Noida authorities after Chintels Paradiso Housing Society collapsed in Gurgaon, which resulted in the deaths of two people.
Residents often quote incidents of plaster falling from the roof and seepage in the basement to show that such events weaken the building structure.
However, Noida’s authority stated that the responsibility for the audit lies in the RWAS / Aoas community after the OC certificate (OC) has been issued by the authority.
On the other hand, officials in the Confederation of the Indian Real Estate Developer Association (Credii) stated that they were not authorized to conduct such audits, and added that the property remained under the control of Builder for the first five years before being submitted, and that when all of these audits must be Resolved.
However, they have not officially revealed this structural audit report.
“Residents have informal conversations with officials, where they reveal this information and say that it is not their responsibility to correct this structural error.
This shows that there is nothing – whether the builder, government or any agency – take responsibility when it comes to the stability of the building structure, “he said.
Amit Gupta, a population of high-rise communities in Sector 77, said that they had asked the Noida authorities for structural audits for several months now.
“Four months ago, we asked the authority for our society’s structural audit.
Our basement has more than 100 spots with seepage problems and leakage.
This is bound to weaken the structure,” he said people live in fear and attention because of the apathy of authority.
However, it hasn’t discussed this problem.
Crack on the ceiling and walls, a decrease in plaster, water seepage on the wall often occurs in many apartments.
If the audit order is not immediately removed, we plan to protest and appeal to court.
“However, a senior officer of the Noida authority said that the responsibility of the building’s structural audit was from AOA / RWA,” Every time the building construction is approved, a structural design audit is carried out by a competent engineer.
This is then approved by IIT or NIT.
However, so OC is handed over, the responsibility of the authority ends and is the responsibility of the builder or AOA to ensure building security.
But if there are people who ask us, then we will take the costs needed to be paid to an expert agent and provide an audit, “the officer said.
