I. Survey called for a culture of preferential treatment and called for an overhaul of the department. In 2004, Marcus Armstrong and a d. B. I. Investigator plead guilty for taking bribes. In 2010, permit expediter jimmy jen was jailed on 232 felony fraud counts brought by District Attorney and Vice President elect kamala harris. In may 2020, Rodrigo Santos, a former Building Inspections commissioner was arrested by the f. B. I. And charged with bank fraud.
