Gurgaon: The leading city-based developer with many projects throughout the NCR has been booked for the quality of poor housing communities in the new sector of Gurgaon.
This case was registered against the Raheja developer in the complaint submitted by the City and State Meeting Department (DTCP) in connection with Vedaanta in Sector 108.
Despite the recurring effort, Naveen Raheja, MD Developer of Raheja, could not be contacted.
The department has received complaints from residents of Raheja Vedaanta about the quality of sub-standard construction in housing society and despite repeated notifications, developers fail to do repair work.
Previously, the Haryana Real Estate Regulatory Authority (H-Rera) has also directed the developer to complete repair work.
Spreaded at 10.68 hectares of land in sector 108, the developer received a license for the housing group housing group in 2007 from the DTCP.
Construction work at the project location began in 2008 and developers began to give ownership to home buyers from 2014.
Problems of structural problems have been submitted by residents since 2018.
President Vedaanta Rwa, Gautam Sen, said the problem began with the inclusion of the basement of one tower.
“The crack gradually began to appear in the pillar, walls, and façade of the tower building.
Our repetitive complaints to the developer only fell on deaf ears.
The next audit by experts also showed structural defects and weakening structures due to cracks on the pillar.” Sen said that after a series of times Complaints and orders from H-Rera in September 2020, developers start some work but do not fix seepage problems.
“There is a need to find problems for seepage in the basement and fix it.
The problem can be repaired but will cost some crores according to the report prepared by experts,” he added.
In June, the Gurgaon District City Planner directed the developer to submit a status report on repair work in seven days.
However, the answer was received from the Builder after almost a month.
In its response, the builder claimed that the project was completed in 2014 and maintenance was then handed over to RWA.
This problem was raised five years after maintenance was handed over to RWA, “so the builder cannot be responsible for improvement”.
“The building has several small cracks, which are not included in the definition of structural defects.” However, according to the norm, responsibility for road maintenance and maintenance, open space, public parks and public health services for a period of five years from the date of obtaining the certificate of settlement.
In addition, structural deficiency, if any, in a building is the responsibility of the developer only, according to the condition of the license.
“The developer must be responsible for poor building structures,” said DTP (Planning) Sanjay Sharma in his report.
