List of issues in Central Park II Gurgaon
The Central Park 2 project on Sohna Road, Gurgaon was launched in 2004 and it is now dawning that construction might continue till 2015 at least. There are some major issues being faced now by apartment owners. Some of these issues might get resolved and new issues might come up. We intend to keep updating the list, please feel free to add your comments below:
Issues listed on 01 Feb 2011 (Last updated – 05 Aug 2011)

a. North & South Gate Entry should be accessible for all towers in order to go around the complex through peripheral Road

The builder has back tracked even on a few assurances given to the CP2RWA during the negotiations.He has already become more adamant and arrogant which is visible from his various actions:
(1) A wall has been erected to bifurcate both the basement parkings under Towers 1-6 and also under Towers 7-9 ,to use half of the parking lots of Bellevue (see the Parking Area shown in your Apartment Buyer’s Agreement for “phase 1 of CP2″) for other Towers still under construction.
(2) A wall has been constructed at the enterance to take away a major portion of the Road into the Belfort area from the common Enterance area of Bellevue.
(3) Clubhouse is still to be constructed (it should have been functional at the time of giving possession).
(4) The area now proposed by the Builder for the Clubhouse is only about 6000 sq. ft., which seems more like a joke for over 2000 Residents
(5) The Swimming pools are still to be functional.
(6)Basements are leaking like a fountain.
(7) There are defects galore in the complex.
(8)Fire fighting System is not even installed (this should have been functional over 2 years back when the Builder applied for the Occupation Certificate).
(9) Possession has been offered for Towers 7 to 9 without the Apartments being complete.
(10) There are major changes in the Layout by the Builder to the detriment of the apartment Owners.No information was given or consent ever taken from the apartment owners for these changes.
(11)Ground Floor stilt area in all the Towers 1 to 9, meant for Clubhouse, converted into “Townhouses” and sold to unsuspecting Buyers.
(12)No Nursery or Primary schools, No EWS units, no Community Centre!
(13) And no 20 acre Garden as originally promised.(infact the actual approval was only for a 8 acre Central Garden which may shrink to about 5 acres whenever constructed, with no access for “Bellevue” residents).
(14) An illegal wall has been condtructed to segregate the Bellevue residents from the rest of the Colony.
(15) An Underpass was promised to connect Towers 1 to 6 with the rest of the project. No Underpass has been given and is denied now on flimsy grounds.
(16) No peripheral road, no access to North Gate on Subhash Road.
(17) No RFID security as was originally promised.
(18) No intercom from Apartments to security.
(19)No “all weather” Swimming Pools as promised.
(20) “Belgravia” is also not only hugely delayed but the owner’s are not even being given the flat according to the specifications as shown in the Sample flat. Another sample flat is now ready on the 1st floor of Tower 12 with much inferior specifications!
(21) Apartment Owners are being charged illegal “Clubhouse Infrastructure Development Charges” instead of “Club Membership”.(For a non-existent Club!)
The list is ENDLESS.
