JAKARTA - The Jakarta Provincial Government (Pemprov) has carried out a thorough inspection of more than 3,500 buildings following the deadly fire at the Terra Drone office, Central Jakarta, which killed 22 people.
Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung revealed that from the results of the inspection, as many as 10 buildings were judged to not meet the completeness of licensing and technical building requirements. For these buildings, the Jakarta Provincial Government immediately issued a First Warning Letter (SP1).
"We have inspected around 3,500 buildings. Of that number, there are 10 buildings that we have issued and we have immediately given SP1," he said in Central Jakarta, Thursday, December 18.
According to Pramono, the ten buildings were unable to show complete licensing documents, including permits from the Department of Construction, Spatial Planning, and Land (citata), the Fire and Rescue Department (gulkarmat), and other related agencies.
"We give SP1 as a stern warning because they have not completed the permit. It's not just about administration, but the building also does not meet the technical requirements set by the citata, PTSP, damkar, and labor," he said.
Pramono explained that this massive inspection was a direct follow-up to the fire in the Jalan Letjen Suprapto area which claimed a large number of casualties. The local government does not want a similar tragedy to be repeated, especially in buildings that are developed without close supervision.
"We don't want the fire incident at Letjen Suprapto which caused 22 people to die to be repeated. Especially in buildings that grow without complete permits," he said.
In addition to the provision of SP1, the Jakarta Provincial Government is also preparing stronger regulations so that it can take firm action against problematic buildings, including the possibility of demolition.
"I have asked for a regulation or even a regulation to be prepared. Previously, the Jakarta Government was able to dismantle problematic buildings through Satpol PP, but with the current rules, it is not possible. If it is really needed, we will fix the regulations for the sake of building order in Jakarta," explained Pramono.
He emphasized that this firm step was taken solely to protect the safety of the community and prevent the recurrence of major disasters in the future. "We don't want to have any incidents that cause dozens of people to die," concluded Pramono.
