Jakarta, VIVA \u2013 The controversy surrounding the construction of a\npadel court in the Kebayoran Lama area of South Jakarta has escalated\nsignificantly. Local residents have officially filed a report with the\nJakarta Metropolitan Police (Polda Metro Jaya), citing disturbances\ncaused by construction noise that allegedly continues late into the\nnight and even into the early morning hours.<\/p>\n
The report was filed on 2 February 2026 by a lawyer appointed by the\nresidents. The complaint has been registered under case number\nLP\/B\/863\/I\/2026\/SPKT\/POLDA METRO JAYA. The Jakarta Metropolitan Police\nconfirmed receipt of the report.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe report concerns the alleged criminal offence of disturbing the\ntranquillity of the neighbourhood due to the construction of a padel\ncourt in the Kebayoran Lama area,\u201d said Jakarta Metropolitan Police Head\nof Public Relations, Senior Commissioner Budi Hermanto, on Tuesday, 24\nFebruary 2026.<\/p>\n
In the report, the complainants allege a violation of Article 265 of\nthe Criminal Code regarding acts that disturb public tranquillity. Budi\nexplained that the reported parties in the case are identified as A,\nacting as Project Manager of PT PK, and S, representing PT PPS. The\nhandling of the case is no longer under the Jakarta Metropolitan\nPolice\u2019s jurisdiction.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Jakarta Metropolitan Police has referred the handling of the\ncase to the South Jakarta Metropolitan Police for further processing,\u201d\nBudi said.<\/p>\n
Based on information gathered, the noise disturbance allegedly occurs\nbecause the padel court construction project continues to operate late\ninto the night. The construction site is reportedly located directly in\nfront of residents\u2019 homes, making the sound of project activities\nclearly audible.<\/p>\n
Residents had previously sent a letter to the local village head\nregarding their complaints. Mediation between the developer and\nresidents was also conducted.<\/p>\n
However, following the mediation, construction reportedly continued\nuntil the early morning hours. Feeling that no resolution had been\nreached, residents ultimately chose to pursue legal action by filing a\nreport with the police.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/kebayoran-lama-residents-file-police-report-over-padel-court-project-allegedly-causing-noise-until-dawn-1771922861", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
