Last week, 50 building inspectors, property managers, landlords, and contractors were busted in a bribery scheme, the details of which are not pretty. Five inspectors are accused of taking bribes from slumlords in in Bushwick, Williamsburg, and Bed-Stuy to falsely evict tenants and wipe away building code violations. A total of 778 violations were erased from 24 buildings without any corrections being made. [BK Daily; previously]
