The incident came to light when other residents of Aparna Serenity noticed structural changes being made to one of the apartments. Concerned about the potential safety hazards and the impact on the overall aesthetics of the complex, they reported the matter to TGRERA. Upon investigation, TGRERA confirmed that the alterations were being made without the necessary approvals and in violation of the regulations set forth by the authority.
According to TGRERA, any modifications to the structure of an apartment, whether it be the layout, walls, or any other significant changes, must be approved by the regulatory authority. This is to ensure that the changes do not compromise the structural integrity of the building or pose a risk to the safety of the residents. In this case, the alterations included the removal of load-bearing walls and the installation of new fixtures without obtaining the required permissions.
Khaja Moinuddin, CEO of TGRERA, stated, “We take the safety and well-being of residents very seriously. Unauthorized alterations can have serious consequences, and it is our duty to prevent such actions to protect the community. We will continue to monitor and enforce regulations to ensure compliance across all residential complexes in the state.”
The owner of the apartment has been instructed to halt all construction activities immediately and to restore the property to its original condition. TGRERA has also warned that any further violations will result in legal action, including fines and penalties. This decision has been widely supported by the residents of Aparna Serenity, who have expressed their gratitude to TGRERA for taking swift action to address their concerns.
In addition to the immediate enforcement action, TGRERA has also initiated a comprehensive review of the Aparna Serenity complex to ensure that there are no other unauthorized modifications that may pose a risk. This review includes an inspection of all apartments and common areas to ensure compliance with the regulations. The authority has also issued a reminder to all apartment owners and residents in the complex to adhere to the rules and regulations set forth by TGRERA.
Real estate experts emphasize the importance of following regulatory guidelines when making any changes to a property. Dr. Ravi Teja, a real estate consultant, notes, “Property owners must understand that while alterations can enhance the functionality and aesthetics of their homes, they must be done in accordance with the rules. Unauthorized changes can not only lead to legal issues but can also affect the resale value of the property.”
TGRERA's proactive approach in addressing such issues is a positive step towards ensuring the safety and well-being of residents in real estate projects across Telangana. The authority continues to work closely with developers, property owners, and residents to promote a transparent and regulated real estate market.
For residents who are considering making changes to their properties, TGRERA recommends consulting with a professional and obtaining the necessary approvals before proceeding. This not only ensures compliance with the regulations but also helps to maintain the safety and structural integrity of the building. By working together, residents and regulatory authorities can create a safer and more harmonious living environment for all.
