Illegal Buildings on Jalan Utan Jati Demolished

As many as 60 joint officers controlled illegal buildings on Jalan Utan Jati, RT 08/12, Kalideres Urban Village, West Jakarta. In addition to not having a permit, the semi-permanent building also stood on land owned by the Jakarta Provincial Government.

We will monitor it

Head of Kalideres District, Ziki Zulkarnaen said before carrying out the demolition, his team had engaged in persuasion and issued a demolition order. The owners were already aware that the buildings violated regulations and lacked permits.

"This illegal building stands on land that is registered as regional property. That's why we're taking action today," he said, Thursday (5/21).

He added that prior to the demolition, the owners had agreed to have their buildings demolished. Therefore, officers only dismantled the buildings and returned reusable building materials to the owners.

"We will monitor it so that it is not re-occupied," he added.

Head of Kalideres Urban Village, Rizky Dwi Putra stated the enforcement operation involved 60 officers from the Public Order Agency (Satpol PP), the police, the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI), and the PPSU.

Previously, the buildings were being used by a number of individuals for businesses such as license plate printing, soft drink sales, and other activities.

"We hope that this action will have a deterrent effect on others so that they do not build illegal buildings, especially on land owned by the local government," he hoped.
