Is the HDB responsible for leaking roof?

  extracted from straits times forum.
  
  I refer to Mr Seah Kian Chong's letter on the prompt response of Sengkang HDB Branch Office in retifying his shoddy air conditioning ledge (ST Oct 4).
  
  Unfortunately, I did not have such a pleasant experience. I live on the top floor of a HDB block in Sengkang and the ceiling of two bedrooms started leaking soon after I moved in last year.
  
  I have complained about it countless times and have even met my MP about the matter. So far, HDB has said that it is the problem of the town council and the leakage has not been rectified after more than a year.
  
  My wooden floor and paintwork have been damaged by the perpetual wetness and I have lived in the newly-renovated flat for less than two years.
  
  My questions are: Isn't the HDB responsible for the leaking roof as it built the flat? Who is going to solve the problem? Who is going to compensate me for my damaged floor and paintwork?

  i am very pissed everything i read about such things.
  
  what is HDB trying to prove? they sold the flats and considered themselves free of everything.
  
  this is not the first time that new flat owners have encountered such shItty problems.
