Golf View Apartments boasts 11 towers housing 1,130 luxury flats — 14 penthouses, 170 Super High-Income Group (HIG) flats and 946 HIG flats.

Anand Kumar, Chairman of RERA for the National Capital Territory (NCT) of Delhi, ordering an inspection of the housing complex in Dwarka Sector 19B by RERA engineers, said: “We also direct a team consisting of RERA’s Executive Engineer and Assistant Engineer to inspect the flats allotted to all the complainants and submit a report on the condition and also on the completion of common facilities and parking areas,” Kumar said.

“We are really concerned about quality of work which has been carried out by the contractor in subject project. We have also gone through the report submitted by Superintendent Engineer (P&HQ) Dwarka dated 14/5/2025. We are of the opinion that there are many issues remain to be addressed as far as construction quality is concerned. We direct VC DDA to look into the matter of construction of subject project vis-a-viv the specifications given in tender immediately and satisfy himself that the construction indeed had been carried out, and submit a report to this authority in six weeks,” he also said.

Meanwhile, a DDA spokesperson on Wednesday told The Indian Express: “It has been observed that sewer blockages are not led by the system design or material defects, but improper disposal of construction waste due to alterations (made in the flats by residents). Notices and fines are being issued for violations, including recovery of blockage clearance costs, from specific apartments/contractors found responsible.”\

“Any other issue, if at all, that may be there is being addressed by the DDA promptly. While the DDA is committed towards the satisfaction of the allottees, it requests (allottees) to ensure structural alterations are done without causing inconvenience to other allottees and as per the norms,” the spokesperson added. RERA had in April asked the DDA to set up a panel to look into people’s grievances and submit a report on the actions taken within a month.
