They claimed they have been hit with a series of problems, including water seepage. The property is built by EL Development (ELD).
Last year, the property developer was in the news as well after residents received their keys to the Trivelis flats in Clementi.
About 500 home owners hit the developer with complaints of shoddy workmanship and poor design for the Design, Build and Sell Scheme flats.

One buyer of La Fiesta wrote to ELD seeking assurances on May 15 last year.
That prompted the developer's managing director Lim Yew Soon to write an e-mail to the condo buyers four days later: "We can understand the concerns of the purchasers of La Fiesta after learning of what happened in Trivelis.

"We would like to assure you that we will learn from the lessons in Trivelis and not let history repeat itself in La Fiesta."
Some residents at La Fiesta feel otherwise.
PROBLEMS
The development received its temporary occupation permit in May, and by August, some residents said they were already experiencing problems.
Residents claimed their cabinets and shelves were showing signs of wear and tear. They also spoke of cracked bathroom tiles and ponding in parts of the units.

Resident Chook Kheen Choong, 44, who is the owner of an Uber car rental, said: "Actually I see this as a happy problem because it brought the neighbours together to solve something."
