Bangalore apartment builder & association issue - STP & heavy renovation charges
5 months ago
We own an apartment in Bangalore, which was purchased in 2011, and we have been residing there since 2013. The apartment complex consists of 550 flats, and the builder completed the handover in 2015. At the time of purchase, we were not informed by the builder about the construction of a Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) next to our flat on the ground floor, with the balcony facing the STP at a distance of just 10 meters. Subsequently, the builder modified the amenities plan, making several changes.
We have experienced significant issues, including noise and unpleasant odors, due to the proximity of the STP. Despite raising numerous complaints with the STP authorities, our concerns have not been addressed, and the residents' association has not responded to our complaints. Additionally, there is a recent development where each flat is being charged Rs 40,000 for society painting. Despite our request for a detailed quote, the information has not been shared. Many residents are expressing dissatisfaction with the substantial costs and penalty charges associated with this.
We are concerned about the potential impact on the resale value of our flat given the proximity of the STP. We seek legal guidance on how to address this situation and handle it appropriately. What steps can we take to address these issues, and what legal recourse is available to us in this situation?
For the STP thing you need to take up this matter with the builder who must be having this in his sanction plan and hid it from you. If he did not disclose then you can move to consumer forum for mis selling and unfair trade practice. For the painting issue you all need to take up this matter with your society and the office bearers. If they have taken a decision then since they are elected by you hence you have empowered them to take decision on your behalf. If all residents disagree with that then ask for an AGM.
