Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung has approved enforcement action against seven permanent houses built without permits on land owned by the Jakarta Youth and Sports Agency (Dispora).

The Jakarta Provincial Government will soon issue the first, second, and third warning letters to those who built the houses. If the warnings are ignored, enforcement action will follow.

"If these warnings are ignored, I have approved taking action," Pramono said after chairing a limited meeting at the Kramat Jati Sub-district Office in East Jakarta on Friday (11/13).

According to Pramono, the seven houses had been built on Dispora-owned land without the necessary permits, interfering with the use of the government asset.

"They built seven permanent houses without any permits at all. That's quite a substantial development, and I have agreed that the matter should be acted upon immediately," he noted.

Pramono said all seven houses had been built under a single Building Approval (PBG). However, the Jakarta Provincial Government has since decided to revoke the approval.

"This means the buildings are no longer authorized, and we will take action soon," he added.

Kramat Jati Sub-district Head Kamal said the seven houses stood on Jalan Baru Ampar, on Dispora-owned land that had been taken over by a developer for a housing project.

He added that only part of the land had been developed, while the rest remained vacant or was being used for ponds.

"The land has been taken over by the housing developer, and several houses have been built, but not all of them. Some of the land is still being used as ponds," he said.
