A Broward County inspector general alleges that the City of Fort Lauderdale鈥檚 top building official improperly authorized building permits for a beachfront luxury condo and two other construction projects in the city.
In a letter dated Wednesday to Fort Lauderdale Mayor Dean Trantalis and city commissioners, Inspector General John W. Scott declared John Travers, who leads the city鈥檚 building services division, 鈥渆ngaged in misconduct by evading the dictates of the Florida Building Code in the fashion by which he, personally, or BSD [Building Services Division] under him, allowed construction or renovation on three building projects in the City of Fort Lauderdale.鈥�
The letter was based on a 514-page report by the county inspector general鈥檚 office. The report contains multiple exhibits including inter-departmental emails, form, and other communications.
