Because the building half collapsed. And literally has a collapsed crane flopped over the top of it. With concrete slabs that looks like the smallest coefficient of friction is keeping it from sliding off and crashing 10 stories to the ground.
The thing looks like a fricking Jenga tower balancing on one block.

Yes of course.

not if observable codes are broken. The City might bury the infraction, but the inspector should report the deficiency.
Right- agreed, but is it really reasonable to expect the inspector to pull out the steel construction manual and verify steel shear stud spacing and beam strength, or to check span tables for the q deck? The IBC typically leaves those sorts of details to the designer of record.
Most inspectors don't have that sort of skill, at least in my experience.

There’s no way you can tell me all this information that is recently coming out city hall and the administration didn’t already know about it.
Makes sense why Destroya didn’t want the city council holding their own investigation.
How long has city hall and the NOFD known about the lack of inspections?
That should be the next investigation

This is true. Most inspectors are expected to catch major deficiencies

I’m surprised the city didn’t catch this and fire her already? Even corrupt departments have leadership they don’t want to be blamed. Auditing the vehicle gps would have taken 5 minutes and they could have placed her on leave for a review at worst to CYA.
Yeah... You don't understand the bureaucracy of government. In private industry, what you just said is fact.
They will have to make a case over an extended period of time. Interview pertinent folks. Bring the case to her. She will dispute and get administrative leave, likely paid. Unless they force her to leave, which is about as good as firing. But then she will just appeal it and get settled with. fricking sham.

Ugh, yeah I do. People died here and millions in dollars of construction was ruined. Whether or not an inspection would have caught it was moot at this point, they weren’t there when they should have been. Inspectors catch stuff all the time they aren’t there to necessarily inspect but they are a 3rd party eye.
If she isn’t fired that’s incredible corruption. Government employees are fired all the time for things like this when it’s that blatant.

Welcome to NOLA.
Wonder if this is on local talk in NOLA? Tommy Tucker has been debating a concealed carry issue

In New Orleans, they get promoted.

This is some Nak-level investigating here by Fox8. Somewhere in BR, Nak is smiling.
This chick and her Trump-hating yellow teeth will scream sexism or anti-lgtbefghi and sue the city before this is over. Bookmark this.

You know it's bad when the usual suspects aren't in the thread carrying water for New Orleans.

They’ll probably just lurk and furiously downvote

He said something earlier about how Destroya won’t come on WWL Radio and speak to their listeners but will go to the other prominently black radio station and speak to their listeners because her voters.

The sad part is that this is TYPICAL of all government workers. They do the work of about 1/5 of a real worker. How do you think the food inspectors are doing on their job? I would predict that 90% of the restaurants would be shut down for being unclean and rodent infested.

That is not a good look for the city at all, and I hope Tweeter can be held responsible for gross negligence.
