Four luxury houses to be demolished

Four luxury houses in Lebak Bulus, South Jakarta, owned by
businessman R.J. Kaptin Adisumarta will be demolished because the
owner has built them without permits.

The houses, built on 9,000 square meters of land alongside the
Pesanggrahan river, do not have the required building permits
from the local authority, Ramal P, chief of the Municipal Public
Order Office, said yesterday.

Antara news agency reported that Ramal also said that Kaptin
has violated the regulations on a building's distance from the
river bed and on the size of a building allowed on a plot.

However, Kaptin stated that he already had a preliminary
license to build the houses from the South Jakarta Development
Control Agency, which he obtained in March. (03)
