Air pollution inspector arrested for accepting bribe

From DNA Info:

A city air pollution inspector was busted for soliciting a bribe from a Brooklyn construction site after threatening to impose a stop work order, officials said Wednesday.

Sean Richardson-Daniel, 53, was inspecting 222 Pulaski St. on Dec. 4, 2015 when he told an informant he believed was a property representative that he would issue the stop work order unless he received $15,000 in cash, even though there were no active Department of Environmental Protection complaints against the property, according to the Department of Investigation.

Was this guy even a REAL inspector? I thought they didn't exist - at least as far as responsiveness is concerned.

No! You don't say!
Imagine an inspector accepting a bribe.
Par for the course!
