Where residents want improvements
The builder often demands full payment and threatens interest charges for delayed payment if buyers do not take possession before the Occupancy Certificate (OC) is issued, a practice considered illegal by some. Taking possession without an OC is risky and illegal for occupancy, as it can lead to a loss of recourse if the OC is delayed or rejected due to builder violations, and banks often do not disburse final loan amounts without it. Buyers are frequently forced to self-fund significant portions of the final payment because banks will not release funds without the OC and registration, adding to financial burden. The legal process to address OC and possession issues is protracted, with sales agreements potentially structured to disadvantage buyers, leaving them with limited options. Concerns exist regarding the builder's general practices, including instances where OC for other projects was cancelled due to issues like alleged forged documents, raising doubts about the OC process.

The project is located opposite or near a large, smelly municipal dumping yard, leading to frequent garbage truck movement and pervasive foul odors, especially in the evenings and mornings. Residents in the vicinity suffer from toxic air, large-scale garbage burning, and related health issues like lung, throat, and eye ailments, with some considering moving out. Despite claims from the builder's team that the dump yard has been shifted, residents assert that the problem has not been addressed and misinformation is being spread.
The dumpyard is the biggest problem in this area. It smells so bad mostly in evening and early morning that you can't step outside the flat.

The pricing for units is considered high, especially given the project's location disadvantages like the nearby dump yard, making it seem overpriced for the square footage. Resale of apartments can be challenging, with some suggesting that units are difficult to sell unless to specific buyer segments, and current prices are significantly higher than original purchase values, which were initially positioned as affordable.
