After homeowners registered complaints about structural imperfections at their Perseverance, East Bank Demerara homes, Minister within the Ministry of Communities, Annette Ferguson, on Tuesday assured them that corrective works will begin on the houses within a week’s time.
A Department of Public Information (DPI) release reported Ferguson as relaying that the homes, which were constructed by private investors who worked in collaboration with government on the Housing Solutions 2017 and Beyond project, have defects such as leaking roofs and toilet facilities.
“I visited more than 10 houses. However, there are cases where some homeowners were not at home but appear on the complaint list. I have examined, listened and documented the beneficiary’s concerns. There are some issues with flooring, leaking roofs and toilet facilities,” the minister said.
