The Noida Authority in its 207th board meeting approved safety guidelines for residential high-rises, formulated rules for pet registration, and looked into issues pertaining to the layout of the proposed sports city.
From March 1, 2023, a Rs 10,000 penalty will be borne by pet owners involved in incidents causing injury to people or animals, and they will also be responsible for their treatment.
The Noida Authority board on November 12, 2022, approved the proposal for structural audit of high-rise buildings, according to an official statement. The decision was taken during the 207th board meeting of the Noida Authority held at its office in Sector 6 here.
The meeting was chaired by UP Infrastructure and Industrial Development Commissioner and Noida Authority chairman Arvind Kumar in presence of Noida Authority Chief Executive Officer Ritu Maheshwari. In relation to structural audit of multi-storey buildings located in the authority area, the statement said that “the structural policy was prepared by the Noida Authority on the demand of flat buyers and AOA, in which the Structural Audit Policy has been approved by the Authority Board with partial modifications”.
“According to this policy, the structural audit report from empanelled IIT or NIT or expert institutions will be submitted by the developer before the partial or full occupancy certificate is issued,” the statement added.
It stated that even after the issuance of partial or full occupancy certificate, in any project, if 25 per cent or more allottees of AOA (apartment owners’ association) or tower complain about structural defects, the committee constituted at the authority level will examine the complaint and decide whether the structural defect is of minor category or comes under major category.
“For structural defects of major category, structural audit will be conducted from expert institutions. Under the Apartment Ownership Act, it is the responsibility of the builder to remove the structural defects for two years,” it stated.
“According to the RERA Act, the responsibility of removing the structural defects rests with the builder for five years and after five years with the AOA. This period will be calculated after the issue of occupancy certificate of the entire scheme,” according to the statement.
In the cases of two to five years period, the Authority will inform the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) to get the action taken by the builder to rectify the deficiencies found after getting the audit done by the empanelled agency.
