Punishment for developers urged<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): Councilors urged the city administration
\nyesterday to take firm action against developers building houses
\nwithout building permits.<\/p>\n
Saud Rachman, member of the Council's Commission D in charge
\nof development affairs, told reporters that the city
\nadministration should demolish such houses.<\/p>\n
"The regulation says that the city administration will
\ndemolish any house built without a building permits. I think the
\ncity building and supervision office should be consistent and
\ndemolish those houses," Saud said.<\/p>\n
He added that the regulation was issued to control houses
\nbuilding. "The rule should be consistently implemented for
\nwithout any exception."<\/p>\n
Saud said if the city building and supervision office does not
\npunish delinquent developers, only the poor will be affected by
\nthe regulation.<\/p>\n
Ratih Ratna Purnami, also a member of the commission,
\nconcurred with Saud, saying that the city administration should
\npunish such developers to deter the others from doing the same.<\/p>\n
"It is time to make the developers understand that the city
\nadministration can take firm action against them, putting an end
\nto the recent cases of developers harassing the city
\nadministration," Ratih said, referring to cases of certain
\ndevelopers that have failed to provide public and social
\nfacilities as required.<\/p>\n
No permits<\/p>\n
A local newspaper reported that hundreds of luxury houses
\nbuilt by PT Palm Estate in Pondok Kelapa subdistrict in East
\nJakarta have yet to obtain the necessary building permits.<\/p>\n
The real estate complex is built on a site belonging to PT
\nSarana Jaya, a city-owned housing company that plans to build 200
\nluxury houses.<\/p>\n
Pelita daily quoted the supervisor of the project as saying
\nthat obtaining building permits is not the developer's business.
\n"It is PT Sarana Jaya's business."<\/p>\n
"As a city-owned company, PT Sarana Jaya should have known
\nbetter and not violated the regulation," Saud commented.<\/p>\n
He said the company should have set a good example for other
\ndevelopers to follow suit.<\/p>\n
"However, it doesn't matter if it is a city-owned company or
\nnot, the regulation should be obeyed," he said.(yns)<\/p>",
