Builders must abide by OC conditions – Forum
Thane District Consumer Forum has ruled that builders must stand by the conditions laid down by civic authority while granting the occupation certificate (OC), even though if such conditions are not a part of the sale agreement with flat buyers.
Recently, a complaint was filed by Sarvottam Co-operative Housing Society against city-based Radhakrishna Developers.
According to the complaint, the construction of the 7-story building was completed in mid-2005, but it developed leakages in the first monsoon itself. And the builder did not bother to fix the problem.
Rainwater harvesting facility and solar water heater unit were not installed, though the conditions were laid down by the civic corporation.
Though the builder claimed that they were not promised in the sale agreement, the Forum said that he had to meet the conditions laid down by the corporation in the OC.
The Forum declared that the builder must pay damages of Rs 941,549 to the society on various counts.
