THE Commissioner of Buildings (COB) can appoint a management agent to maintain and manage a building if the joint management body (JMB) is not performing its duties satisfactorily.

According to Selangor housing, urban well-being and entrepreneur development committee chairman Rodziah Ismail, the Strata Management Act 2013 allows for this only after the COB carries out a thorough investigation.
