Council cracks down on errant flat owners in Taman Keramat

MPAJ surveyed the flats on June 1 and found 62 cases of illegal extensions, with 58 of them on the ground floor.

SIXTY-TWO notices have been issued to Flat PKNS AU3 owners in Taman Keramat in Ampang Jaya, Selangor, to remove all illegal extensions at their premises within the stipulated period at their own cost.In a statement, Ampang Jaya Municipal Council (MPAJ) public relations officer Norhayati Ahmad said officers from the Building and Architecture and Enforcement departments surveyed six of the 15 blocks also known as Flat UTM on June 1, and found the owners of 62 units in breach of Section 72(1) of the Road, Drainage and Building Act (Act 133).

The enforcement action, she said, was a follow-up to the council’s demolition of an illegal extension under construction in Block 4 on May 25, which garnered much attention after a video of it went viral in social media.
