re: City inspectors approved work @ the Hard Rock Hotel site, but GPS shows they weren’t there

Question: “highly regulated industry”

Does it deal with vertical construction or construction in the civil sense? Or, is it industrial in nature (ie plant work)?

Btw, code enforcement has nothing to do with them being “libs”. It has everything with them being egotistical and high on control much of the time. Why are you politicizing the topic?

This Tweeter person is likely a straight criminal on the take. Nothing more, nothing less. A simple criminal.

I think Privateer is saying that it’s alarming that folks can’t build a building in the middle of downtown that doesn’t fall down without this chick showing up once or twice a week to have a look-see.

She was paid to look the other way

Maybe, but NOLA inspectors wrote the book on pay to play

I wholeheartedly agree necessary regulations are necessary.
There should be required testing, engineering controls and the like.
However, often these are set by folks who have no clue what they're doing.
shite just keeps getting added. And ultimately nothing gets honestly done/checked.
Keep regulatory processes simple, necessary. Evaluate periodically for necessity. A simplified regulatory environment is best as it's more likely they'll be actual compliance.

Permits and Inspectors offices will tell you they don’t have a big enough budget or enough people too.

N/M.. should have read

Exactly what would she have found at the time that would have led her to NOT sign off on the permit for that day?
Not asking for a political answer, but want an engineering answer.
Would she have seen a lack of beams or rebar or whatever has been listed as the cause of the collapse?

thanks Fred.
