Brooklyn, NY - Borough President Calls Out Department of Buildings on Enforcement

Brooklyn, NY - In a letter to the Department of Buildings (DOB) deputy commish Robert LiMandri, Borough Prez Marty Markowitz expressed concern at the agency's failure to adequately police architects, developers and contractors during the building boom of this recent years.
"It is imperative that the agency staff view not just the construction industry as their client base, but view with equal importance the responsibility of protecting public interest," wrote Markowitz. "I call on every city agency charged with the monitoring and enforcement of construction rules and standards to work with my office, so that legally mandated construction schedules are followed and violators are fined heavily, to ensure the continued safety and quality of life all Brooklynites deserves."
