I am a resident of Active Acres which is supposed to be a luxury complex at Kolkata constructed by Ruchi Realty. My experience of the last 3 years has been really bad. The following are the reasons:-
Insensitive builder who is partial to the needs of only a particular community.
Poor quality of construction and pathetic plumbing.
Problems of dampness and seepage. This has also been caused by some residents altering the design of their flats and the builder turning a blind eye because of reasons mentioned in point no 1 above.
Dirty lawns littered with dog and pigeon excreta.
Stray dogs roaming about all the time which is dangerous for the residents.
Harmful drinking water causing sicknesses in children.
Mosquito infestation.
Unbearable stench from the nearby tanneries when the winds blow from them.
Water supply problems.
Poor security.
11 High maintenance charges.
- Termite menace. It seems the builder did not do soil treatment at the time of construction. This has been further aggravated by the dampness problems which has been created by residents changing the interiors at their own will.
