Lodha New Cuffe Parade: Disasters waiting to happen

If Lodha New Cuffe Parade were a movie, it might get a one-star rating out of five from its present occupants; and it would be "A" rated, because it is scary and unsafe for children. If Lodha New Cuffe Parade were a car, it would have to be recalled. Lodha NCP Wadala is touted as a super-luxury real estate project, and each flat is sold at between Rs 2.5 to 7 cr. But customers are not just disappointed, they are shocked to discover that these super-expensive flats flats are poorly designed, made of poor-quality materials, substandard, defective, prone to damage and seepage. Basic design flaws in the flats, the towers, and the entire layout, make it dangerous for occupants, maintenance staff and passersby.

Lodha NCP towers like Dioro, Enchante and Evoq have got part-OC (Occupation Certificate) from MMRDA, but they are unfit for habitation. The part-OC appears to be due to MMRDA officials' negligence or corruption, or both. MMRDA appears to have turned a blind eye to several glaring issues: some immediately life-threatening hazards such as non-compliance with fire safety regulations, others chronic and niggling, which would cause sick building syndrome.

Shilpi and her husband Amit Jaisingh, who bought two flats on the 31st floor of Dioro, were amazed to find after taking delivery that the walls are made of fragile and powdery plaster-of-paris (POP). Shilpi has made videos showing how amazed she was to discover that the material of which most of the walls are made can be powdered with her fingers, easily cut up with a small blade, or melted into paste with a few drops of water. She was hugely disappointed to see moist walls with green moss growing on them within two months of possession, giving her house the feel of a neglected, dilapidated old house. She was livid with anger to discover that there was loose wet sand instead of solid cement under her floor tiles throughout her house, causing salt blooms to appear from the joints of her floor tiles. Shilpi was alarmed at how unsafe her house was for her children, because of gaps in the floor through which a person may fall down to lower floors, or worse. She was unable to come to terms with how easy her house was to break into, thanks to the POP walls right next to the front door.

Lodha NCP presents a high probability of the following types of accidents:

(a) Casualties among children and pets due to falling. There is a high statistical probability of accidental deaths or severe injuries to children, pets or workers falling from great heights, especially through unsafe gaps in balconies. Lodha NCP has an abundance of unsafe places from where people can accidentally fall down.

Notice the yawning gap in the floor near the drainpipes and outdoor units of split air-conditioners fitted by Lodha, Children and pets can easily fall to their death through these gaps.

(b) Uncontrollable fires. Due to their peculiar design, the towers of Lodha NCP are especially vulnerable to spreading fires. If one flat catches fire, it can rapidly spread to other flats, especially on higher floors due to large chimney-like sewage-ducts in bedrooms (Yes! Amazing but true!) and in sitting-rooms.

These unusual drainage chutes or ducts are in the bedrooms of many flats. They are like chimneys from the lowest floor to the highest.

(c) Minimal or no access for fire brigade. The ground level layout prevents fire-brigade vehicles and their snorkels, ladders, etc. from accessing most of the towers and their flats. Even lower floors are therefore placed at grave risk by the certainty of delayed response by the fire brigade, as the personnel would have to navigate a maze of ground-level structures to reach any towers to even give an initial response to any emergency -- whether fire or otherwise.

The ground level is cluttered with walls and structures such as these, and gives no access for fire brigade vehicles or personnel to reach the towers in case of emergencies.

(d) Parking basement fires aggravated by low roof, few exits and lack of natural ventilation. The roof of the parking basement dangerously low -- about 2.1 metres high. This is insufficient for even a small-size fire-engine to enter, and barely enough for SUVs. The basement has very few entry-exit points and minimal natural ventilation. The basement gives no access to fire brigade vehicles and personnel. If even one vehicle parked there catches fire, it will rapidly escalate into large-scale catastrophe.

The ceiling height of parking basement is 2.1 metres (6.9 feet), and this is further reduced by sewer lines and other pipes running just above human head-level.

(e) Falling sheets of metal or glass. Lodha NCP towers don't have a normal exterior wall made of RCC with cement plastering etc. Instead, they have an exterior "skin" of the towers of perforated metal sheets mounted on hooks fastened with nut-bolts. There is a very high likelihood that some of these sheets will eventually get loose due to weather-related expansion and contraction, corrosion, wind, vibration, etc. In case of high winds during a storm, or high temperatures caused by a fire, some of these metal sheets can detach and fall down on the unsuspecting public in the compound or the streets.

The balconies of Lodha NCP show how the entire exterior of the towers is built with perforated metal sheets fastened with only nut-bolts.
