From the NY Post:A high-ranking FDNY safety inspector ignored safety violations at buildings housing day-care centers in exchange for bribes, the feds said yesterday.
Carlos Montoya — who formerly oversaw inspections of all city day-care centers — was arrested yesterday for the alleged misconduct, which included repeatedly certifying use of a Brooklyn warehouse for the temporary care of infants and children younger than 2.
He allegedly got at least $12,000 in payments from the center’s owner, who has pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges and is cooperating with the feds.
But Montoya, 54, failed to fully cover his tracks, and issued the bogus certificates with “basic errors that one would not expect to see,” such as misspelling the word “nursery,” court papers charge.
Montoya — who was bounced from his post after the city Department of Investigation uncovered the scam — also allegedly got paid $250 a pop to sign off on safety inspections at another center.

What a creep. Take away his pension too!
Children's safety - that what this guy turned a blind cheek for a buck! Put him away for a long time.
They should check out Tommy Huang's former FDNY fire marshal/adviser and see if he took any bribes.
Sold his soul for filthy lucre.
Why are the majority of NYC employees South American or Caribbean immigrants?
Hire Americans, once he's gone that should open up the position for an American citizen.
He hates the USA!
and the people who gave him the bribes? deport them back to the Dominican Republic.
After the criminal trial, no matter what the outcome deport him and his entire family back to Colombia. Take away their US passports. this will send a message to the other scammers.
Let him take bribes in Colombia.
