Hudson Valley Code Inspectors
BUILDING INSPECTORS ARE IN A JAMB:
Town building inspector Joe Mlcoch can't remember the last time he conducted a fire inspection of businesses or multifamily dwellings.He's also about six months behind on inspections of places of public assembly, such as churches, theaters and restaurants.
The problem facing Mlcoch, who wears a trio of hats — building inspector, fire inspector and code enforcement officer — is not uncommon in the Hudson Valley's booming towns, where municipal staffing has lagged while development has boomed.
