Drama In Spring Valley As Building Department Refuses to Hand Over Existing Paperwork

by Monsey.info

Nothing can go smoothly, not even handing over paperwork.

A special News12 report on the handover of responsibility between the Spring Valley Buildings Department and the newly created Rockland County Office of Buildings and Codes claimed that a moving truck meant to carry paperwork from the Spring Valley building left empty handed, allegedly over refusal by the Spring Valley Department.

As previously reported on Monsey.info, the Rockland County Legislature voted 16-0 Tuesday during a special meeting to approve a budget and director for the new county Office of Buildings and Codes, which is authorized to begin its work as this coming Monday.

The new office was created after New York State demanded that the county take over the embattled Spring Valley Department following the deadly fire that took the life of a firefighter.
