[Resolved]  Noida Authority — Defective flat

Address: Gautam Buddha Nagar, Uttar Pradesh

I am the owner (original) of a NOIDA Authority Flat (MIG FLAT in sector 62, Rajat Vihar Society, NOIDA). I got possession of the flat in 2003. There was no water connection in the flat/whole society at the time of possession. As soon as water supply began in the flats, water leekage, seepage appeared on the walls of the interconnected flats. My flat is on the ground floor. Six months after possession of my flat, the floor of the flat began to sink. I complained to NOIDA Authority to address the water seepage and sunken floor problems of my flat. They did some tinkering job. After getting back to them several times to solve my problem fully, and after there was no response from them, I approached the consumer court in NOIDA. After several years of court battle, I got a paltry amount of RS 25000. Since 2003 (year of possession) I have spent over 2 lacs in repairing the defects but the problem is structural in nature (defect in the basic structure resulting in cracks appearing on the wall and floor sinking despite repairs).

NOIDA Authority must give me another flat in place of this one. I approached the housing section of NOIDA Authority with this request but they have flatly refused to consider this option.

There is another problem with the flat. The electricity wires, meters of the flats (ground floor to 4th floor) in my building have not been properly encased. They are spilling out of the box. They are no longer concealed under the ground but run on the surface of my flat outside wall. This is all a risky arrangement with heavy tension wires running just above my window and main door. Pictures attached.

It is unfortunate that a big organisation like NOIDA Authority is so careless and un-accountable and should be taken to task and I should be given a proper alternate flat.


Thank you and regards,
