A four-story building on Jalan Zamrud Raya No. 227, Kemayoran, Central Jakarta, is demolished by joint personnel from local Building Control Sub-Department, Satpol PP, and TNI/police, Wednesday (10/22). The demolition is done because the building owner does not have building permit (IMB).
This building does not have IMB. We have sent warning letters and demolition warrant, but the building owner ignored it
“This building does not have IMB. We have sent warning letters and demolition warrant, but the building owner ignored it,” stated Head of Central Jakarta Building Control Sub-Department, Ratu RA.
According to Ratu, her party had been tricked because an IMB sign board was installed in the location.

To help the officers demolish the building that stood on a 250-square-meter land, a back hoe is used. Even so, the officers only tore down some parts of the building poles because the building is located in the middle of dense settlement.
