RERA was hearing complaints raised by 11 residents of DDA’s Golf View Apartments in Dwarka, who had approached it regarding the construction quality of the flats and common facilities that they termed “poor”. The residents’ concerns included issues with the structural integrity, common amenities, and parking areas.
While RERA stated that it was “really concerned about the quality of work”, the counsel for the DDA claimed that issues raised by the residents have been resolved and photos and videos submitted. However, RERA was not satisfied with the DDA’s response and ordered a more thorough inspection.
Golf View Apartments boasts 11 towers housing 1,130 luxury flats, including 14 penthouses, 170 Super High-Income Group (HIG) flats, and 946 HIG flats. Anand Kumar, Chairman of RERA for the National Capital Territory (NCT) of Delhi, ordered an inspection of the housing complex in Dwarka Sector 19B by RERA engineers. He said, “We also direct a team consisting of RERA’s Executive Engineer and Assistant Engineer to inspect the flats allotted to all the complainants and submit a report on the condition and also on the completion of common facilities and parking areas.”
Kumar further emphasized, “We are really concerned about the quality of work which has been carried out by the contractor in the subject project. We have also gone through the report submitted by Superintendent Engineer (P&HQ) Dwarka dated 14/5/2025. We are of the opinion that there are many issues remain to be addressed as far as construction quality is concerned. We direct VC DDA to look into the matter of construction of the subject project vis-a-viv the specifications given in the tender immediately and submit a report to this authority in six weeks.”
Meanwhile, a DDA spokesperson on Wednesday told The Indian Express that sewer blockages are not due to system design or material defects but are caused by improper disposal of construction waste due to alterations made in the flats by residents. Notices and fines are being issued for violations, including recovery of blockage clearance costs, from specific apartments/contractors found responsible.
The DDA spokesperson added, “Any other issue, if at all, that may be there is being addressed by the DDA promptly. While the DDA is committed towards the satisfaction of the allottees, it requests (allottees) to ensure structural alterations are done without causing inconvenience to other allottees and as per the norms.” RERA had in April asked the DDA to set up a panel to look into people’s grievances and submit a report on the actions taken within a month.
