The L.A. City Ethics Commission on Tuesday fined a former city building inspector for providing plumbing services for a development that he also oversaw.
The headquarters of Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety. Eugene Day, a former inspector for the department, was fined more than $100,000 on Tuesday for misusing his city position for personal gain and by engaging in unauthorized outside employment.
At the same time, Day signed off on his own work at the building in his role as a city plumbing inspector, according to the report from the commission’s Director of Enforcement, Richard Platel. Day didn’t deactivate his plumbing license and continued to operate All Day Plumbing and Construction, according to the report. Nor did he seek permission from the city for the outside work, according to the report. That employment would have been denied because of the conflict of interest, according to Platel’s report.In a written brief submitted to the commission, he apologized and said what happened “wasn’t intentional.
Day was employed by the Department of Building and Safety and served as a city inspector for the Selma Avenue project from December 2013 to June 2015. Ramland Construction, the general contractor on the project, hired Day in November 2013 to be the plumbing subcontractor, the report said. However, for the next two years,the report said, Day “took little or no action as the Selma project’s city plumbing inspector to determine whether Ramland complied with [the] correction notices he had issued in December 2013. In contrast, he approved work without verifying that appropriate permits had been obtained and allowed other work to be performed outside the scope of existing permits.”
The panel of ethics commissioners debated Day’s punishment on Tuesday, weighing that he had stepped down from his job and wasn’t disputing the inspector’s broader findings. The commissioners also struggled with how much to fine Day given that his company incurred costs at the Selma project and received payments.
