Construction and Corruption (VOIEN)
The "building boom" that has occurred in Manhattan since 2003 has strained an already corrupt system of construction regulation and enforcement. I will highlight the involvement of unions and the mob in construction. I will investigate the resultant illegal construction and how it effects building codes. I will address matters of jurisdiction, union politics, and bureaucratic mishandling on the part of the city, and what impact these factors have on how construction regulation is enforced.
