New York 'Mob-tied' building inspectors resign

The New York Post reports:

Corrupt city building inspectors -- some with ties to a powerful crime family -- videotaped taking bribes at construction sites across the city have resigned, although they have yet to be indicted on criminal charges, Mayor Bloomberg said today.

The mayor's comments come on the same day that The Post broke the story that some of the inspectors were taking payments under the table, while some were seen dealing cocaine and prescription pills while on duty.
"None of the people [involved in the alleged bribe scandal]... are currently working for the Department of Buildings. They have resigned," said Bloomberg.

The corrupt Department of Buildings workers -- who lined their pockets by ignoring violations or expediting construction and building work permits -- and about two dozen Luchese crime-family captains, soldiers and associates are slated to be arrested later this month, sources said.

Imagine that.
