Impasse on illegal flat extensions

Chickens spotted at the Taman Ungku Tun Aminah flats with structures, including chicken coops, built illegally at the premises.

ILLEGAL extensions and renovations at low-cost flats by residents are posing a huge dilemma for their management committees (MC) or joint management bodies (JMB).

While the flats management can take action against errant homeowners under the Street, Drainage and Building Act 1974 (Act 133) and Strata Management Act 2013 (Act 757), they are reluctant to do so.
