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.
