Rohan Jharoka II Ownership Report - Core issues



Hi All,


How are you feeling in RJ2 ? Owning a home is a good feeling for anyone (on EMI though)!!! . Also, We all are trying to make the community better n better, kudos to all .

As discussed in numerous internal meetings (RJ2 owners) , in meetings with ROhan Builders officials and in the closed google group
there are some core issues which are haunting me and most of us.

Here I am trying to bring these issues into the notice of wider group and public . Please let me know What do you think about it



1. Land discrepancy : Missing area of around 25000 sq.ft. ( As per the sale deed , the total project area is 25000 sql ft. less than the area mentioned in initial sale agreement of the apartment )
  as result of which , UDS for me and others has come down by ~ 7 sq. mtr. As per builder, sale deed is the only document  they recognize.
                     

2. Ceiling height : As anticipated , its less than the bye-laws and minimum height mentioned in National building code .  As per builder they are maintaining some standards but its not meeting the national building code .
   I have 8 feet 6 inches ceiling height in my apartment and all other have the same with 1-2 inches difference. As per the email reply from builder during construction phase, they claimed 8feet 10 / 11 inches .
   (The email reply is available under "concerns" topic.
   Link for bye-law:: http://www.naredco.in/notification/pdfs/Bangalore-Building-Byelaws.pdf
   Link of a case where builder was penalized for low ceiling height :: http://brigademetropolis.blogspot.in/2009/05/brigade-penalized-for-ceiling-height-in.html


3. Car parking :: As per Officials at Rohan Builders , You count faces of car park , not slots. In 1 face , if you can park 2 or 3 cars , this will be counted as 1 car park.
    I am also a bit confused her !
    As per OC , there should be 293 car parks in RJ2 , but there 381 car park slots are available, and I think builder will sell all 381 slots whereas OC allows only 293 .
    Builder can't sell car parking as a separate item, that is another angle.

4. Maintenance start period ::  Without any intimation , Builder has started the 1 year maintenance period from OCT-14 .
After some discussion with the builder, they agree to reduce the expenses incurred by construction work. But no conclusion yet.

Its my home and I am trying to enjoy and live peacefully but somewhere  inside, I am not convinced and feeling short changed BIG TIME.

All this should be compensated by the builder, and if we are right then we should not let it go so easily. I will not.

I am sure we all have the same feeling.
Though we thank the builder for doing some extra work like fencing and railing around the complex .
But on the core issues, You all know , the email business with builder is not working, they are just buying time. Don't you agree ?
No progress so far. Even they haven't share the promised docs yet to get more clarity on above mentioned items.
Request all of you to reiterate  your thoughts here .

Note: This post is only about the core issues mentioned above. Please refrain from posting irrelevant items.



Regards,
Avneet

  1. Yes Avneet. It’s really sad to see Rohan Management stooping to the level of third rate local builders.

    The Land discrepancy is a breach of the agreement and robbing us of our hard earned money. If this is what we get from Rohan then I could have opted for a local builder…. Same experience for less money.

    Car parking: Weird explanations coming from Rohan higher management on extra car parking slots sold is really unexpected. That too with out allocating proper and sufficient no. of visitors parking.

    Issue of land kept aside for BBMP road widening (really?). This land which was under agreement with us is said to be kept aside for road widening as a separate compound. And they did not find it necessary to inform this to us !!! When we ask for the proof there comes the bizarre explanation…Its not acquired until now ! First of all why to keep aside a land that is sold to us and not yet acquired by BBMP ?. Let the BBMP acquire the land from us when it happens. Why should Rohan/Errol Fernandes the land owner keep this land with them?

    Over all there are too many fishy things happening … and I no longer trust Rohan

  2. Residents are frustrated with Causal attitude of Rohan. Share of land was key selling feature of the project, but now it seems to be marketing gimmick.

  3. Good efforts guys , please keep the momentum, new buyers should be aware how rohan builders has cheated us /fooled us. Further, builder has not provided any response for the queries raised. Dont know why he is afraid of documenting the logic's and explanation provided (Verbal).

    We were planning to buy an apartment with RJ2, but I could see lot of comments in different forums which are not very inspiring.

    Thanks,
    Siby
