MUMBAI: The Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority (MahaRERA) has ordered a developer in Andheri East to correct all structural defects in a building, particularly in the communal areas, following grievances from the building’s co-operative housing society.
The society, represented by lawyer Anil D’Souza, reported several issues, including substandard construction, leaks in common areas and terrace water tanks, as well as fungal damage to doors in Vasant Oasis Jolan, building number 14.
Homebuyers purchased their flats between 2011 and 2020, and after the project was handed over to the society in early 2021, residents began to report internal leaks and construction deficiencies. While the developer carried out some repairs in individual flats and common areas, the society claimed that the issues remained unresolved.
The developer refuted these claims, stating that each buyer inspected their flats before possession and expressed satisfaction upon handover. They asserted that any minor defects were addressed voluntarily. However, the society maintained that only temporary and inadequate repairs were performed.
In a ruling dated September 9, MahaRERA member Mahesh Pathak referred to previous decisions involving two other societies in the same Vasant Oasis project, noting that the current society is “similarly positioned.” As a result, MahaRERA determined that the society is entitled to similar relief. During the hearings, it was clarified that MahaRERA would only adjudicate the common issues raised.
While the developer claimed necessary rectification work had been completed, MahaRERA noted the lack of credible documentary evidence to support these assertions. The authority has directed the developer to address all structural defects in the communal areas and amenities. Regarding the demand for immediate handover of common amenities, MahaRERA deemed this request premature at this stage.
