As seen in Newsday today: I requested the Nassau County Comptroller’s Office conduct a full field audit of the North Hempstead Building Department. The Building Department has been a deeply flawed, scandal plagued mess for more than 15 years, and residents looking for a permit for even the simplest of construction almost always would be faced with multi-month delays. An impartial assessment by this outside agency would help identify and address fiscal irregularities and mismanagement of departmental operations. I look forward to seeing what an independent audit would truly uncover.
Calling for an audit to the department is something that no administration in the past has had the courage to do, but it’s something that should have been done long ago, as the department continually fails our residents and business owners.
