More questions about Chicago building inspectors ABC7Chicago.com
Court depositions of five building inspectors involved in the Wrightwood porch collapse case reveal that four of them had little or no experience in the building or construction trades when they were hired in the 1980's.
They say their training was 'on-the-job' -- usually two weeks in the field --watching what other inspectors do. All of them acquired a journeyman's card with the Carpenters union even though the depositions show for had no carpentry experience.
'They're obtaining the journeyman's license not by going through the apprenticeship program with the unions but by simply buying it,' said David Kupets, porch collapse victim's lawyer.------------------------------------------- posted 6:55 AM :: reference link ::
