    INSPECTION-TEAM CRISIS - By GINGER ADAMS OTIS and ADAM NICHOLS, New York Post
    But instead of recruiting new experts, the Department of Buildings is swelling the crane team's ranks with a special operations team of six workers and four private engineers - all of whom help, but are not qualified to carry out the actual inspections, the source said.

    The city is struggling to fill the positions, mainly because the job comes with relatively low pay - an average of about $55,000, experts said.

    'Who would work for that when they can make $160,000 a year actually operating a crane?' said one operator yesterday.
