The Building Department, Town of Hempstead Nassau County , New York
As some of you may know, there was a lot of construction going on at our place in 2007 and into 2008. Much of the project was delayed due to the incompetence of the folks over at the Building Department, Town of Hempstead, Nassau County, New York. We suffered about 3 months of senseless delays because people were simply too lazy and stupid to sit down and look at our plan.
It’s not really their fault. The folks over at the building department of the Town of Hempstead Nassau County New York work in a system that provides no reward for performing well. Nay, they work in a system that rewards doing a horrible job. There is no competition. There is no accountability. The people you work with do not care. Their bosses do not care. The head of the building department doesn’t care. If you get angry on the phone because they screwed up, they just hang up on you.
So today, I took off work to babysit the inspector who was scheduled to come between 11-1pm. One of my sons was home and I told him we’d go to McDonald’s for lunch as a treat. 11 comes and goes, so does 12, then 1pm. At 2pm I made lunch for my son and me. I called the building department and guess what? They had no record of the inspection today. In fact, the inspector was completely out of the office today!
So, now we have to reschedule. This affects an appointment we had for a new appraisal for the house.
How do you spell frustration?
