Staffing Changes Pending for Building Department as Authorities Review Thousands of Records


Of some 3,000 building permits issued over a decade, more than 1,000 are incomplete, creating a major time-sink for investigators.

By Nik Bonopartis - AOL / Port Chester Patch

Staffing changes and new leadership are in store for the building department as police and prosecutors dig through "thousands" of records that span more than a decade, officials said Monday.
For all intents and purposes, the building department remains frozen in time after police detectives installed new locks on the beleaguered office on Friday. The office is physically off-limits to anyone except investigators from the Port Chester Police Department and the Westchester County District Attorney's Office, as authorities look to preserve records and evidence.
An investigation into corruption at the building department began on April 29 of last year, when police closed the office for the first time and carted away boxes of records. Some employees were sent home Friday after police returned to lock the office down, but the department's clerical staff has been moved and will remain available to take applications and answer questions, Mayor Dennis Pilla said.
Police have remained mum of the details of the investigation, but former Building Inspector Frank Ruccolo was suspended in the aftermath, and officials say police have been digging through thousands of individual paper records that span a decade, when Leonard Cusumano – Ruccolo's predecessor – helmed the department.
When maintenance worker Daniel DeLisa was fired in February for allegedly outsourcing his $5,400-a-year cleaning job, DeLisa told authorities the late Cusumano gave his blessing to outsource the job a decade ago. Similar stories abound in the village.
One major time-sink for investigators is the sheer number of records in disorganized paper files. Those records pre-date recent modernization and digitization efforts at village hall, and Pilla said investigators are working through a cache of 3,000 building permits.
Of those permit files, 1,000 were never closed, meaning current staffers don't know what happened with those cases.
The process involves "reinspecting all of the suspicious-looking inspections from the past, to make sure that in the present tense there are no violations," Pilla said. "There are thousands of records that are abnormal. And the people of Port Chester need to understand that's going to take time."
While Pilla said potential criminal charges would come "not soon enough," he said the investigation's scope has expanded beyond the records at village hall.
Police have not discussed details, but a source familiar with the investigation said authorities are looking at the bank statements, property assets and financial records of suspected employees. The source pointed to one former employee who owns a home worth almost $1 million and likely could not have financed the home with official, reported income.
Sources say those patterns have increasingly become a focus of several concurrent criminal investigations – including the building department case and the parking meter theft probe.
In the meantime, Port Chester's leaders are exploring several options for the future of the building department. Pilla said staffers are exploring the possibility of combining building department operations with a nearby municipality, while Village Manager Christopher Russo interviews civil service candidates for the building inspector role. Russo will present a list of candidates to the board "very shortly," possibly at the next public board meeting.
Check back with Port Chester Patch for updates on the building department investigation.

I Broke Her In A Month!,
May 10, 2006
Reviewer: Michael Golpe from Port Chester, NY
She produced for about a month, and, it was GREAT! I wore her out, but well-worth the price! Her lips/mouth got me going, but, then she was too small to continue- her ass took-up the slack! Her puny is GREAT! All-in-all a great "price-point" for the value on the dollar! Better/Cheaper than a stripper!!!

Port Chester Building Department locked – again

Port Chester Lt. James Ladeairous said the office was locked Friday night, and that detectives were waiting to see whether a new person would be hired to lead the department. He would not comment further.
Port Chester’s Building Department is closed today after being locked by detectives Friday night. It’s unclear exactly why, but the department has been shut down before due to an ongoing investigation into records there.
Daniel Gray became acting building inspector after acting inspector Frank Ruccolo retired amid the investigation in July. Ruccolo was facing misconduct charges that were never made public.
Phone calls to the department are being answered with only a generic message. Mayor Dennis Pilla said only that the closure was “yet another step in the journey of rooting out corruption” in the village.
PORT CHESTER — Mayoral candidate and Trustee Bart Didden sent out a news release this week saying he had "uncovered" the latest disciplinary case against a village employee, but later acknowledged that the claim may have been overblown.
"Maybe my writer got a little rambunctious," Didden said of the latest release in a Republican campaign against Democratic Mayor Dennis Pilla....
....According to Village Manager Christopher Russo, the latest case came to light when Public Works Foreman Rocky Morabito reported that a cleaning woman complained she had not been paid. It turned out that the woman was not on the village payroll, but had been paid by employee Daniel DeLisa, who claimed he'd been authorized to outsource his own village job.....
....Didden said he sent an e-mail to Russo the same day the board was notified of the case, but the manager said he knew of no such e-mail.....
....The investigations are conducted by Robert Lombardi, assistant to the village manager, and pursued according to civil service procedures.....
...."Bart will say anything to get elected, and he's grossly distorted the facts," Pilla said.

Police Shutter Building Department Again; Employees Sent Home
Ten months after launching an investigation into corruption at Port Chester's building department, police have shut the office down again.
By Nik Bonopartis | Mar 14, 2011
In a sign that a 10-month corruption investigation may be coming to a close, Port Chester police shuttered the building department at village hall on Friday, freezing operations and sending employees home.
Details remain few. Port Chester police Lt. James Ladeairous confirmed detectives closed the office on Friday, saying the office is physically off-limits pending action by the police and village government.
Mayor Dennis Pilla also confirmed the lock-down.
"This is yet another step in the journey of rooting out corruption in Port Chester," he wrote in reply to a query from Patch.
The investigation was revealed publicly for the first time last year, when police first shut down the department and hauled away boxes of records on April 29.
Frank Ruccolo, the department's building inspector, was suspended without pay in the resulting investigation, and soon after submitted retirement papers. Although the village drafted administrative charges against Ruccolo, the disgraced former building inspector used the protection of state personnel law to bury the charges when he retired.
As a result, the details of those charges never became public, and village residents have become increasingly frustrated as other suspended former employees used the same legal strategy.
State law says the personnel files of public employees are protected, unless details in those files point to dereliction of duty or other allegations of misbehavior. Two employees have been suspended in an investigation into money stolen from Port Chester's parking meters. Estimates suggest the thefts totaled about $150,000 per year.
On Sept. 22 of last year, former DPW General Foreman Gary Racaniello buried 36 pending administrative charges by resigning.
In a letter, Racaniello told Russo his resignation was "conditioned on" two things: "that all disciplinary charges...are hereby withdrawn" and "that all copies of disciplinary charges (pending or to be lodged), as well as other paperwork related to any other disciplinary charges will not be filed."
In January, village hall brought disciplinary charges against William Oxer, a DPW employee and former chief of the Port Chester Fire Department. Those charges have not been publicly revealed, and Oxer declined to comment when reached by phone.
Oxer's name came up in the parking meter probe as early as November, but his legal troubles were not limited to the meter investigation and hint at the alleged wide-scale corruption involving building department operations–after a home he co-owned caught fire in September, Oxer and co-owner Charles Horton were cited for allowing illegal occupancy, conducting work on the home without permits, and renting the home without installing smoke or carbon-monoxide detectors.
In December, police served the DPW and finance department with a subpoena, marking the third time in one year that criminal authorities took records from village hall departments during corruption investigations.
The investigations and suspensions have fueled political disagreements within Port Chester, sparking heated exchanges and drawing the attention of the district attorney's Public Integrity Bureau.
Mayoral challenger Bart Didden has said the investigations signal a lack of oversight, while imcumbent Mayor Dennis Pilla says it's the staff he's hired and supervised – including Village Manager Christopher Russo and Code Enforcement Director Christopher Steers – have been the driving force behind finding and exposing corruption in the village.
In October, Trustee Sam Terenzi was called in to speak to investigators at the Public Integrity Bureau after an outburst during a public meeting in which he referred to a tipster in the parking meter probe as "a rat." Terenzi and the board's Republicans were accused of trying to fire Robert Lombardi, the assistant village manager who headed the administrative investigations in the parking meter probe.
Republican trustees, including Terenzi, Didden and Kenner, argued that eliminating Lombardi's $79,000-a-year position was a cost-cutting measure, but raised eyebrows among the public for the timing of that effort, days after Lombardi revealed charges in the meter investigation.
After months of praising Code Enforcement Director Christopher Steers for combating corruption and systemically inspecting thousands of homes in Port Chester since taking over enforcement duties from the building department, mayoral candidate Bart Didden issued a campaign press release earlier this month saying those efforts were not enough.
Downtown "is an embarrassment to our residents," Didden said, while criticizing the pace of code enforcement efforts ahead of Tuesday's mayoral vote.
Check back with Port Chester Patch for updates on the building department investigation. Also, be sure to go over to Broad Street and wake up Richard Abel, because he and the Westmore Snooze is once again asleep at the switch.
