Housing Board Introduces Certification about No-Violation in Dwelling Units
Chandigarh 01st August 2019:- As per existing
instructions, in cases where no misuse/building violations are reported (as per
the record), the information furnished by the applicant in the application form
of transfer of dwelling units with affidavit of the Transferor and Transferee
are being relied upon. In all such cases, fresh inspection reports are not
insisted upon and transfer of the dwelling units are allowed based on such
declarations. However the transferee continues to be liable for all the
building violations either existing at the time of transfer or made
subsequently.
It has been observed that in some cases, transfer of
the unit was allowed on the basis of such declarations but subsequently certain
misuse/building violations were observed. When actions against such violations
were initiated by issuance of Show Cause Notices, the transferees felt cheated
by the transferors via submission of wrong declarations/affidavits. They report that such violations existed at
the time of transfer of the dwelling unit. Therefore in such cases, the
existing owner/occupant (transferee) is liable to remove the violations failing
which he/she will bear the consequences like cancellation of allotment etc.
To overcome such situation and to protect the
innocent buyers, the Chandigarh Housing Board has decided to provide an
optional mechanism where the Transferor and the Transferee may jointly apply
for an inspection by the CHB and obtain a certificate clarifying no violation
at that point of time. For this purpose a joint application, with a fee of Rs.
5000/-, may be submitted by the Transferor (existing owner) at CHB. Further, on
physical inspection will be conducted and a certificate will be issued by
CHB. However in case of any violations
carried out subsequent to the physical inspection, the transferee will continue
to be liable for the same.
