PLAYING WITH FIRE: Years of defiance and ignored fire code violations have created a major crisis in the tri-state area.
Decades of defiance and ignored safety warnings regarding fire and building code violations have reached a crisis point in Rockland County.Tara Rosenblum
In the aftermath of the fire, the Turn To Tara team headed to Spring Valley Village Hall to seek public building inspector reports but was hit with resistance. Wayne Ballard, a Spring Valley building inspector, and Raymond Canario, a Spring Valley assistant building inspector were accused of charges, including filing false documents.
Over the years, we have also tracked the criminal charges filed against several public officials and inspectors, but critics say it was all just a smokescreen. The county did take over as expected, but there were bumps. Just before the takeover, in early February, Spring Valley's Building Department was caught on camera refusing to give the necessary documents over to the director for the new County Office of Building and Codes.
