"That’s the message that the Department of Buildings is taking to heart thanks to a $2.5 million 
hike in the agency’s 2007 fiscal year budget – which includes $250,000 for an initiative that provides night and weekend inspections".
This is from an article in this weekend Queens Tribune which talks about how the DOB now plans to include inspectors to inspect on nights and weekends.
"DOB spokeswoman Kate Lindquist said that under the After-Hours/Weekend Inspection Program about 30 inspectors are routed in all five boroughs each weekend to respond to after-hours complaints". The article also states that you might hear a "knock knock" on your door within hours of a complaint being filed.
Tony Avella is totally backing this idea. I guess he figure if the inspectors are busy inspecting other homes, his pool will be over looked.
