ALLEGED illegal building came under the spotlight in the RECORD of February 15.
The RECORD requested comment from the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality (EMM) after a resident complained continuously about alleged illegal building taking place at a neighbour’s residence.
Themba Gadebe, EMM spokesperson commented: “The property in question was first inspected on November 18, 2016 and a carbon copy notice was issued on the same day during a routine rodent control inspection programme.
A follow up inspection, conducted on Friday, January 13, 2017 revealed non-compliance to the aforesaid notice. A second statutory notice was issued on Monday, January 16, 2017 and delivered by registered post in January 2017.
Another follow-up inspection on Monday, February 6, 2017 revealed non-compliance to this statutory notice, which resulted in a fine of R1 000 issued on Tuesday, February 7, 2017. A new fine will be issued for consistent non-compliance by owners of said property committing misconduct.”
