Great question!
If a building already has an IMB (Building Permit) and has been constructed without any changes, then you do not need to apply for a PBG. However, if you’re applying for an SLF (Certificate of Proper Function), the existing IMB can still be used.
If the building had an IMB but construction had not yet started when the new regulations (PP No. 16/2021) came into effect, you will need to apply for a PBG through SIMBG before moving forward.
We just added a FAQ section at the end of the article.

Does a building that already has an IMB need a PBG/SLF?
Your article doesn’t make this clear.
