TO tackle the increasing number of apartment owners who build extensions without permission, Kuala Lumpur City Hall’s (DBKL) Commissioner of Buildings (CoBKL) is currently working on compiling standard operating procedures (SOP).

DBKL Property Management and Valuation Department director Mohd Helmi Mohd Sany said contrary to what people thought, CoBKL had no power to act on illegal extensions, and neither did the joint management body (JMB).
