[Resolved]  CMDA — Un authorized water tank 16no.s storage at roof slab resulting in cracks at roof slab and beams -reg

Address:

36 block , Jheeven bhima nagar, padi, chennai.

Dear CMDA,

Our apartment building is 25 years old and foundation soil is clay. Roof live load as per IS CODE 875 part-2(1987) page -7 clearly states that 3Kn/m2 but i found 16no.s unauthorized sintex water tank (1000 litres capacity ) overloaded at roof resulting in cracks at roof slab and beams. I had informed about this to my flat owners but no cares and informed to JBN association too, no action taken so far. Recently 3 weeks before one of our flat renovation works such as hacking the wall resulting in serious cracks in wall and slab for other 4 flats. You now comes to know about the seriousness of building, kindly visit our building ASAP and take remedial action to remove unauthorized water tank and ensure the safety for the building.
Thanks.
