Seven Detroit building inspectors charged with taking bribes on the
job are expected to be arraigned Friday after state and federal
officials announced the results of a corruption investigation into the
city department that oversees inspections of construction plans and
building codes to ensure the safety of homes and businesses.
Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette said the inspectors took payola for conducting phony building inspections or looking the other way at code violations. Schuette said the inspectors were charged with a total of 17 offenses, ranging from one-year misdemeanors to 10-year felonies.
The employees of Detroit’s Buildings, Safety Engineering and Environmental Department are charged with offenses dating to 2007, some of which Schuette indicated were caught on video.
