Posted in Blogger Queens Crap brings word that the city’s Department of Investigation has arrested James Cheng, the Department of Buildings’ former chief plan examiner, on charges of taking bribes from an architect. Cheng took cash payments from Flushing-based architect Sung Ho Shin, who has also been charged, in exchange for reviewing building plans before they were submitted to the DOB. The various charges could result in one to four years imprisonment. [Queens Crap]
