Comments on: City building inspector charged with bribe solicitation. http://bribewatch.org/bribes/city-building-inspector-charged-with-bribe-solicitation Protecting consumers from corruption in the constuction and inspection industry Sat, 19 May 2012 23:00:27 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.1 By: Totallythompson http://bribewatch.org/bribes/city-building-inspector-charged-with-bribe-solicitation#comment-628 Totallythompson Mon, 15 Feb 2010 16:44:12 +0000 http://bribewatch.org/bribes/city-building-inspector-charged-with-bribe-solicitation#comment-628 My family shares this pain too. We too are the victims of bribes given by our contractor to a city building inspector. This criminal (and I mean that literally, he was a four time convicted felon) was assigned to our home during construction in 2007. We have testimony that our "building inspector" asked for Hookers and trips to Aruba "to make the inspections go smoother". When we discovered the damage and the bribing that was transpiring, it was too late and the damage to our property was already done. Our building inspector testified in a deposition that he had NO contractors license what so ever and receive NO formal training to be a city building inspector. We are now in over three years and a million-three into this litigation heartache. Ten people both contractors and city employees participated in this crime. We are set to go to trial on May 3, 2010. Our home was declared a calamity by the county of Orange in 2008. We have six children so it is very hard for them to live in this mess. We have had to stay in the property and just continue to put our money towards endless litigation and attorney driven delays. It is too bad that someone else's dishonesty can cost someone and their children so very much. If anyone has any suggestions, I would welcome them. I just need to make sure this doesn't happen to another family. Sanclementevictim@me.com My family shares this pain too.
