Anyone can confirm the HDB grill at the window can be removed ? Maybe someone carrying out renovation now can enlighten.

I am thinking of changing or removing completely as I find it like "jail bars".

Thanks

Have you checked the website? Perhaps you may wish to give HDB a call.

Yes. IDs will usually do it for free for you. I am hoping to put it aside incase I need it in future. Hee hee.

Thanks!

Yup, i'm from blk D... we submitted ard 28 or 29 aug...

we've been waiting until our neck long long!

BTW, is there any special ritual we need to do when opening the door for the very first time??

Hi pink_sea, I'm from Blk 79D too! Submitted my loan application letter on 4th Sept...so hope I get my collection letter soon too. I'm staying on 4th Floor...what abt you? wonder if they give the keys from the low floors upwards...

Hello Alister...

Ever been told by one id that it can be removed off.

But I dont think so lah.

That's what I suspected as well. I will try to ask HDB about this ruling when I apply for renovation permit.

Initially we saw only window planes and were so happy that there are no grills. And then, they fixed on the grills. =( On a closer look, we noticed screws - we guessed that they just screwed them on. We checked with our ID and he said it is not uncommon to remove the grills. Nevertheless, pls keep us updated in case there is a change to HDB policy. thanks =)

Hi Zanie98

Hi Yel

Yep, Mine's 79C 38 Floor. But mine's the five room one. Still no news lah... So dunno....

Btw All 79ers

I went to the 11th floor of 79C and saw cracks on the ceiling! Gosh... Wonder if its due to the earthquakes. And its leaking too! Its a brand new flat so what's with the cracks? Is it safe?

Think the crack is not done by the earthquakes is more to the workmanship of the contractors of hdb.

tat's y my id say they will check properly for us b4 they start work....

Cracks?? Leaking??? FAINT! Think better call HDB so that they have some QC. cos if it happens to 11th floor, it may also appear somewhere which we may not be aware of.. so gotta start INSPECTING when we go. hahaha

Think leave such things to HDB to check and sort out the problems. Building should be structurally safe; don't think they would want their reputation to be at stake!

Are the 11th floor units also those with high ceiling? If so, could be that the waterproofing isn't done properly....anyway I better stop speculating. No idea about the earthquake-crack possibility though...

Most importantly, upon getting the keys, the first thing to do is to do a thorough check on any faults in the unit, particularly those that HDB will have missed out on (e.g. hollow tiles, walls not at right angles, etc). Let the structural engineers deal with the mega problems (if there are any), and we on the inside !

So, no one from Blk D has started receiving keys yet I supposed? Think the prospect of getting mine by this year is gone in the wind....

Don't worry... the HDB officer told me that blk D n E will get the keys by this year... probably later in Nov or Dec... So smile... and look forward to that day... Wah... always feel excited when reading this forum...
