Enforcing
public order and security is a mandatory obligation of the regional government
as regulated in Law Number 23 of 2014 concerning Regional Government. One form
of implementation is by controlling illegal buildings that stand without
permits and violate spatial planning, especially in urban areas such as the
city of Surabaya. The existence of illegal buildings, especially on government
asset land, raises various legal, social, and environmental problems that
hinder sustainable urban development.
This
study aims to analyze the legal basis, implementation, and forms of
administrative sanctions against owners of illegal buildings in the city of
Surabaya based on the Regulation of the Mayor of Surabaya Number 34 of 2023
concerning Procedures for Imposing Administrative Sanctions for Violations of
the Surabaya City Regulation Number 7 of 2009 concerning Buildings. This study
uses a normative legal approach with a literature study method on laws and
regulations, legal literature, and documentation of control activities.
The
results of the study show that the Surabaya City Government through the Civil
Service Police Unit has carried out the control of illegal buildings in stages
and procedurally, by prioritizing preventive stages such as socialization and
warning letters before demolition. The administrative sanctions applied include
written warnings, cessation of construction activities, sealing, and demolition
of buildings. This enforcement aims to ensure legal certainty, maintain public
order, and enforce the function of city space in accordance with the regional
spatial plan.
