Summary
It is permissible to use the surau compound for the attendance of the Rukun Tetangga patrol members concerned. The ruling cites al-Nawawi's explanation that the Shafi'i school permits non-Muslims to enter a mosque with a Muslim's permission, whether they are People of the Book or not. It also notes that Umar bin Abdul Aziz, Qatadah and Imam Malik did not permit it.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
