KUALA LUMPUR: City Hall (DBKL) has allowed construction to resume on the Soho block, as well as Blocks A and B of the J. Satine condominium project in Wangsa Maju.
However, it said that structural repair works and foundation reinforcement must be completed on Blocks C and D before any construction activities on those blocks can proceed.
City Hall said it had received a progress report dated Feb 24 from the independent check consultant, which was prepared by a certified professional engineer.
“The report contains several recommendations and is supported by the independent engineers involved.
“It also includes verification of the building’s safety and structural stability,” it said in a statement today.
City Hall added that the recommendations had been endorsed by the independent engineers and accompanied by safety and stability certification from the structural engineers of the J. Satine development.
It has also directed the project’s consulting engineers to submit a monthly progress report and a repair work completion report, both of which must be reviewed and certified by the independent consultant at the end of each month.
The developer, Jayyid Land Sdn Bhd, has been instructed to hold engagement sessions with unit buyers and relevant agencies - including the Wangsa Maju member of Parliament’s office, the Federal Territories Department and the National Housing Department - within two weeks of the stop-work notice being lifted.
“City Hall remains committed to ensuring that all actions taken regarding the J. Satine development are guided by the principles of accountability, safety, transparency and integrity.
“City Hall will continue to closely monitor the implementation of repair works and the overall progress of the project to ensure all actions are carried out responsibly and in the best interests of all stakeholders,” it said.
On Nov 9, 2024, City Hall issued a stop-work order for the J. Satine condominium following reports of an explosion on site caused by structural issues.
An inspection revealed cracks along the shear walls, pillars, and floors in units above the eighth floor of Block C.
