3,402 buildings violate regulation

JAKARTA: Jakarta Property Management and Control Agency on Saturday said it had issued 3,402 order letters to building owners to stop construction, saying they failed to present complete documents.

Of the number, South Jakarta topped the list with 924 buildings, followed by 815 in East Jakarta, 775 in West Jakarta, 573 in North Jakarta and 315 in Central Jakarta.

The agency's head, Hari Sasongko, said out of the total number, his agency had destroyed 371 buildings, while 737 building owners had reapplied for building permits after completing the required documents. The rest had not yet responded to the letters.

"From the 737 buildings asking for building permits, we managed to gain Rp 10.55 billion in building fees," he said.

In 2007, the number of buildings receiving order letters reached 4,630 buildings, with 700 being destroyed. -- JP
