New York City crane inspector charged with taking bribes - BY ADAM LISBERG, BARBARA ROSS AND BRIAN KATES, New York Daily News
Over eight years, Delayo took a total of about $10,000 in bribes, in payments ranging from $200 to $500, for falsely reporting he had inspected cranes, investigators said.
He also admitted to selling an applicant a copy of the license exam for $3,000, taking payoffs to give passing grades to individuals who had not taken the test, and helping workers cheat on the exam, probers said.
Delayo, 60, a 26-year veteran employee, makes $74,224 a year. He was promoted to acting chief of the Cranes and Derricks Unit in March, after the first crane collapse.
