Marunda/DOK ANTARA Flats

JAKARTA - Member of Commission D of the DKI Jakarta DPRD Judistira Hermawan asked the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government to conduct an audit to find out the exact cause of the collapse of the C5 block of Rusunawa Marunda.

This simple rented flat owned by the DKI Provincial Government in Cilincing District, North Jakarta was built in 2006.

Judistira assessed that audits also needed to be carried out so that the DKI Jakarta Housing and Settlement Areas Agency (DPRKP) formulated anticipation to prevent other buildings that were decades old from experiencing similar incidents.

"We will ask the Housing Office to conduct an audit so that it can be anticipated so that there will be no more incidents and anywhere that needs to be revitalized immediately," Judistira told reporters, Tuesday, September 5.

In addition, Judistira also asked the DKI DPRKP to oversee the resilience of other Rusunawa buildings. If necessary, the housing for renting residents in other locations is also revitalized.

"So it's not just Marunda, but there are several flats that need to be monitored and immediately revitalized," he said.

The collapse of the roof of the DKI Provincial Government's flat occurred on Wednesday, August 30, 2023 at around 21.10 WIB. Luckily there were no casualties in the incident.

A day later, the DKI DPRKP asked residents living in block C to move to the Nagrak Flat which is also in Cilincing District for safety reasons. It was recorded that 451 families who were residents of block C1-C5 were willing to be relocated.

Acting Head of the DKI Jakarta Public Housing and Settlement Area (DPRKP) Retno Sulistyaningrum said that his party will revitalize the Marunda flat, Cilincing, North Jakarta in the near future.

This is in the aftermath of the collapse of the roof of the C5 Rusunawa Marunda block building. Moreover, the current block C Marunda building is also considered unfit for habitation.

"The DKI Jakarta Public Housing and Settlement Area Office will plan to revitalize the Marunda Rusunawa, according to the results of BRIN's research that the Cluster C building in Marunda Flats is no longer suitable in a building structure as the results of the inspection of the building carried out by BRIN," said Retno.

Currently, continued Retno, residents are starting to transport their belongings gradually. Efforts are made, all residents of Block C have moved this September.

"Some residents have transferred goods, which are facilitated by UPRS II, UPRS III, North Jakarta Mayors and Satpol PP," he added.
