Fines

[Kapohocat]

My thought exactly.

Kapohocat... find the ordinance that allows such "Fines". If you can't find one... I'd be calling the proper authorities and reporting the inspectors, this sounds like text book extortion to me.
Have them prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

It sounds like you know more than one person who has been fined. Perhaps if you approach this from another angle - get all the details from them: what the inspector said they did wrong, how much they were fined, by whom, exact date, amount of fine and, I would say most importantly, get a copy of their paperwork. If they were just fined on the spot and handed over cash then it will be pretty hard to track the incident but if you can present copies of the documentation supporting these fines, you should be able to build a case.

I would think the inspector would have two options. One, to note that those specific piers were not inspected because they were out of sequence. Orrr.... you could have them removed, new forms put in place and reinspected. Doesn't seem like a big deal. I can't understand the reason for a fine...

It should be called a bribe. Business as usual just a different name.

No matter how thin you slice it, its still balony.
