Section 14(3) RERA – Liability of Builder to rectify defects in the flat
The possession of the flat was given on 15.2.2021. However, since first monsoon of June 2021, the home buyers have been facing recurring leakage and seepage issues in various parts of the flat. The respondent, however, made only temporary patchwork repairs but failed to permanently resolve the defects.
The structural audit report of the Structure Engineer appointed by the Society had given serious deficiencies including cracks.
The complainants appointed Garv Techniques for thermal imaging survey of the flat and the said report has shown considerable moisture and structural issues causing leakage in various areas of the flat, despite there being no rainfall immediately preceding the inspection.
