Housing Development Corporation (HDC) plans to meet with residents of Oasis Greens Community in Chaguanas over the next three weeks to hear their concerns over infrastructure issues in the development.
Guardian Media reported last week, residents complained of peeling/porous walls; leaking roofs and pipes; cracked foundation pillars; mold; termite infestation; moisture-logged foundations; collapsed sewer lines; electrical faults; counters separating from walls; broken floor tiles; overgrown lots; poor drainage; and pothole-riddled streets.
However, the HDC says their investigations found 75% of the community is behind on monthly payments at almost $3.4million in arrears.
Monthly payments are between $1,200.00–$1,500.00
“These arrears limit the HDC's ability to address issues that affect its residents,” the HDC said in a release.
HDC Chairman, Noel Garcia and Managing Director, Jayselle Mac Farlane visited the development on Friday to assess claims.
