Padel Court in West Jakarta Sealed for Lacking Permits
JAKARTA — The West Jakarta City Government sealed the MMT Padel sports facility located on Jalan Puri Ayu, Kembangan, West Jakarta on Monday (2 March 2026).
The enforcement action was undertaken because the sports facility and its associated amenities lacked the required building permits and Building Approval (Persetujuan Bangunan Gedung or PBG).
Head of the West Jakarta Civil Order Unit (Kasatpol PP), Herry Purnama, explained that this enforcement action was a follow-up to Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung’s directive regarding the proliferation of sports facilities operating without complete administrative licences.
“Today, the West Jakarta City Government, led directly by City Mayor Iin Mutmainnah, has carried out enforcement action against the MMT Padel sports facility building. This enforcement targets a building registered under PT Kemakmuran Pertama Jaya and PT Samudra Semesta Raya,” Herry stated when confirmed by Kompas.com on Monday.
“The enforcement action we carried out today consists of resealing the MMT Padel building. In addition, we have also installed notification banners in the front area and completely closed access using chains,” he added.
Herry noted that the padel facility had only been operating for approximately two months, since January 2026.
He warned the facility operators and owners against damaging the seals or attempting to operate covertly.
All operational activities have been halted until the owners and operators complete all licensing documentation.
“We emphasise that whilst the sealing process remains in place, no activities whatsoever are permitted in the area. This applies until all administrative requirements are met by the owners, which primarily include Building Approval (PBG) and the Certificate of Functional Worthiness (Sertifikat Laik Fungsi or SLF),” he stated.
“We from the West Jakarta City Government emphasise that facility owners comply with all applicable legal regulations. This is absolutely necessary to ensure building order and legal certainty in West Jakarta,” Herry concluded.
