The Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency has declared that the rainy season in Indonesia will occur in October-November 2018, with the peak occurring well towards January-February 2019.
Better be prepared than sorry. Have you checked your house? Check all areas where water may come in, your roof, drainage, windows and even doors if they are tightly sealed. Water in the house is no fun. Especially when water comes through a leaky roof. Repair now and even replace your roof if necessary. Seal off those windows and doors and make sure your drainage has been cleared from any possible clogs.
No matter how small the work should be done for your house in Lippo Village, you have to obtain prior permission from TMD.
1) Non-Structural Renovation
For leak repair work, if the repairs are only for waterproofing or roofing patches, fixing the roof or gutter position, you only need to apply for a non-structural renovation permit. Please come to TMD Customer Service to get the permit immediately. There is a fee for the non-structural renovation of Rp 45.000,-. This permit will be valid for 30 days.
2) Structural Renovation
If the leakage is severe enough, and you need to replace the roof by changing the roof frame with steel or replacing the batten, swab, wood with the same material, making concrete gutters or cast out the concrete gutters (all work using concrete), then you have to apply for a structural renovation. This permit will be processed within 3 working days and can be taken after paying a fee for the sticker of Rp 60.000,- and safety deposit which amount depends on the unit’s area. This permit is valid for 90 days.
Please note, when replacing the roof, pay attention to the material used by your surrounding neighbors. This is to maintain the harmony and neatness of the design in the residential area, as well as protect the value of your property.
