DOB never ceases to amaze me… Yesterday we found out that the appointment we had today for a sprinkler PAA had been canceled because the plan examiner retired a month ago.

In the grand scheme of things – I’m glad he retired – his level of incompetence was dumbfounding (our engineer said he’s never seen him review a set of sprinkler plans correctly). But it’s also a bit dumbfounding that DOB would book an appointment to meet with someone who no longer works for them and not catch the error until the day before the appointment. I mean how many people had to show up to meet with the guy before they figured it might be a good idea to stop the appointments and contact the people who had appointments scheduled?

Thanks DOB – more completely unnecessary delays…
